Good day
After I made the Mortising jig for the router table, I thought that to bent under the bench every pass to lift the bit, is too much for my old back so I made a simple lift.
The lifting mechanism is located on the right side (behind the fence) so it will not interfere with any operation.
It takes some 30 seconds to install it and I'll probably improve a few things with time and experience.
It works very smooth (after a drop of oil in the T-nut) and takes some 30 turns from "bit level with the table" to "bit 1½" above the table".
Regards
