Now that my SawStop is in place at last, I am looking for a cast iron router table and a router lift. I see cast iron tables but don't see any that can accommodate a router lift. Any thoughts will be appreciated.

I have a SawStop with a cast iron BenchDog table in the wing with a Triton router. I'm very happy w/this setup, no lift needed.

Try General International (Excalibur)

I routed a recess directly in the SS extension wing, and put a Woodpecker lift in it. Works great.

Why would you want cast iron?

I also have a cast iron router table on my SawStop with a Triton router. Check on the Triton they can be adjusted from above or below the table and do not need a lift mechanism. They come in two sizes - 2.5 and 3.25 HP.

I love the BenchDog with BD lift. I added a digital readout and it's the cat's meow!

I have a cast iron tablesaw extension from Peachtree, and a lift from Woodpecker. Works just fine.

Be careful if you look at an older one. Some have a really oddball size cutout for a plate that might make it hard to get a lift to fit. Measure the cutout to be sure before you buy.

Bingo. That's pretty much the exhaustive list of what you are looking for. With that said, I have one, and I love it. Make sure you get the one with the cutout for the Woodpecker and/or Incra lift.
