Precision Router Lift, Router Table Lift, PRS5000

Great lift for a Bosch router, fitted into a small Kreg table. Device is solid and well machined, lacking sharp edges and with smooth controllable precision movement. Router fitted into the lift without issues and the only real step that requires more thought is the leveling of the plate with the table surface and consideration of where the switch and cable are going to be. The convenience of being able to change bits without reaching under the working surface and fumbling with two wrenches simplifies projects where multiple routing tasks may be necessary. The combination is expensive however.

A good buy. Easy to install and use. Allows precise adjustments. Easy to install and remove the router.

I just bought this in anticipation of getting a larger and more powerful router motor for my table. The problem was that I was not yet ready to upgrade the motor and wanted something with which I could continue to use my Porter-Cable 890 series until I made a decision as to what to replace it with. Other lifts in this price range could do this for me with the additional purchase of adapter blocks or rings. This unit accepts a wide range of sizes without the need to buy anything extra. I can use it with my present motor and when I upgrade, I can remove the lift, remove four screw pins, move the clamp blocks to different settings and I will be good to go in about ten minutes. The quality of the build is what I would expect from Kreg. Very smooth and solid. The only quibble I have is the plastic wrench provided for changing inserts seems a bit flimsy. One other thing to note is that there is no provision for leveling the lift plate from the top. It is designed to be use with Kreg plate levelers which are installed on the bottom of the table in the corners of the cutout. Not a deal killer, as they are less than twenty bucks and install very easily. The downside to this system is that one has to remove/replace the lift multiple times to adjust the set screws to get the plate exactly flush with the table OR you can leave the lift in the table and work upside down under the table and throw your neck out doing it. Fortunately, you only have to do it once.

Best router lift on the market! I have two of them and easy to set and stays set for precision depths!

This is a great lift at a great price. It was easy to install and fit my Dewalt 618 perfectly. The one thing I didn't like about it is the fact that it has no leveling screws. So you have to buy the Kreg leveling pads. I don't like those either as you need to level your plate from underneath while keeping an eye on it. So I drilled and tapped 8 holes, 2 at each corner near the mounting holes and used some set screws. Now I can level from the top. I did have one small issue with the adjustment crank that it used to raise and lower the lift as well as lock it down. It wouldn't fit into the locking wheel. So a couple of passes with a file on each flat surface and all is good. I have an old set of Woodpeckers aluminum insert rings, which they don't make any more. So I wanted to know if they would work. Before purchasing this router lift I asked Kreg, here is the exchange: Q:Will Woodpeckers aluminum insert rings fit? A: The Kreg PRS5000 is designed to only accept the Kreg Level-Loc Reducing Rings. Kreg Technical Support Manufacturer · 3 weeks ago I was bummed that I wouldn't be able to use them as they are a great set of rings, but when it arrived I checked and the Woodpeckers aluminum rings fit perfectly. Bonus, I get to keep using my old rings.

Perfect fit, operates smooth and precise

It’s worth every penny I paid for

As expected, it was a quick and simple install in a Kreg table. A slight adjustment to the holding pads and my Spin-Rite motor slid right in. The crank handle makes raising the motor far easier than the dial on n the original board. The operation is very smooth.

The item description says it was metric. I got the imperial version. Thats pretty annoying.

Es muy preciso, de excelente calidad, vi muchos comentarios de que no le queda al router Bosch 1617, pero al poner el mío me di cuenta que muy probablemente no abrieron lo suficiente el soporte, se abre mucho para tener suficiente espacio para introducir el router, es muy fácil de usar, incluye el elevador con placa de aluminio, la llave Allen para subir, bajar, asegurar y abrir y cerrar el soporte, una llave Allen para quitar el tornillo de los soportes y ponerlos en los orificios para cada tamaño de router, 3 anillos reductores, el pin de inicio, pero no los tornillos de fijación, aunque ya tenía la placa que si los incluía y usé estos para fijarlo sin problemas. El vendedor fue inovatools y lo recomiendo ampliamente, siempre una excelente comunicación, el envío fue el día que hice el pedido y lo recibí al siguiente día.

Couldn't get a router to fit it. I had to cut it up and re design it to get it to work. Too small for all routers in europe
