Just bought a PC 7518 for my router table. Currently I have a Triton 2-1/4 hp router with an Incra plate in my table. Works well, but got a good deal for a new PC.
So, I'm going to get either a Incra/Jessem Mast-r-lift or Incra/Woodpecker PRL-V2 lift for the PC 7518. I like the Magna lock inserts, so I'm going with the Incra branded version of one of them. Still haven't decided which one. I'll want to add a Wixey DRO to the lift and have a couple of questions for those who use them:
1. How easy/difficult is it to install the DRO on both lifts? Drilling, tapping required?
2. Is it more accurate on either lift or the same?
3. The PRL-V2 has the micro adjust thumbwheel on the plate. Do you think this makes it easier to dial in the exact height on the DRO as opposed to the hand crank shaft on the Jessem?
Any input/advice from those who have either set up would help in making my lift purchase decision.
Thanks.
