Jessem Master Lift question

[Bob Cooper]

I'm thinking of buying a router lift and i'm going to build my own router table top. Does the router lift come with a template that i can use to cut the insert in the table top?

[Dave Zellers]

When I bought mine they offered one for sale. I chose to make my own.

[Jim Becker]

Easy to make your own...actual size plus whatever your guide bushing and bit diameter requires. The latter should be based on the actual corner radius of the lift’s plate.

[Bob Cooper]

Good point. Just didn’t know if it came with one or I’d need to make one

[Bill Adamsen]

Hard to find on their web-site ... but they sell an MDF template for $25

I bought the Bench Dog cast iron table extension and mounted my Jessem lift in it. When not using my router table, I get additional material support to the left of the blade on my Unisaw. When in use, I retract my Unisaw blade and I get additional support for material being routed across my Unisaw. When I bought this, I sold my Lee Valley router table; I gained all the advantages I listed, plus the space my router table took.
