Good day
As you know, I don't have the "normal" cabinet router table but...
If one day I will make it, I thought to make a "Router lift" like on the drawing.
I would like to emphasize that it will work only with "Plunge router".
All the parts (almost) can be made of wood.
The "Round nut" is one like used in the "Jorgensen" screw clamps.
During the lifting (i.e., rotating the threaded rod), the "Lifting bar" will "shorten". That's the reason that the "lifting bar" is slotted and can move on the fix bolt (the "view from above" detail).
The "Lower support" is just a block of hard wood with hole at the size of the threaded rod with a piece of metal inserted into the hole to prevent the "eating" of the wood.
The "Upper support" is also a block of hard wood with a large hole to enable a socket to be pushed in to rotate the "Double nut" and, a small hole at the size of the threaded rod.
The "Plunger" is made of round stick and slids up/down in mating hole in the "Cross beam".
Sorry for the poor drawing, I'm still "Lo-tech"...
