JessEm lift w/ Milwaukee 3.5 hp router $285

[Chris Smith]

More wacky discount deals from Amazon. They have the JessEm power lift with Milwuakee 3.5 hp variable speed router for $285 (note it does not include the JessEm lift but the remote power lift). To get this price you must go to Amazon and first put a small power tool in your cart (item must be sold by Amazon):

Then do a search for JessEm 05626. Put this in your cart and Amazon will treat this like a router accessory and give you 45% off after using coupon code BIT20OFF.

I've been eyeing this motor and switch. I tried the coupon code - BIT20OFF. I get an error msg:

I already had the dremel engraver in my cart. Did you use a different code or somethin

*Now I got it - you have to order the one that is not in stock!

[Chris Smith]

It looks like Amazon stopped selling the engraver. It has to be a tool sold by Amazon so you would have to pick the polisher or screwdriver, or something sold by them.

[Ed Beers]

When you bring up the engraver (or any other item) it will choose a seller for you. To the right, there is a list of alternative sellers. Pick amazon from the list and try again.

[Gary Herrmann]

Interesting. If you place separate orders using the method described in this post, it appears like you can get an entire Jessem and potentially other router tables (I didn't try any others) at 45% off. You'd just have to buy each component in a separate transaction - which could be good if you want to get a couple inexpensive Christmas gifts for folks along the way.

[Chris Smith]

the 45% discount will work on any router bit, router lift, router table, or any other router accessory as long as it is sold by Amazon.

[Ed Beers]

Chris, I don't think this includes any lift. If I read it right, it is just the motor customized with an external control. A good deal if you REALLY want one but you can get the normal router with base for less.

Ouch! I wish I would have known this about two weeks ago. I paid $469 for the JessEm 05626. When I did my web search this was the best price I could find. At the time I did my search, this router wasn't even in Amazon's database. Oh well.

I'm just about finished building my router table. I'm using the JessEm 05626 in the Woodpecker Precision Router Lift. It's a sweet combination.

By the way, I am constructing my router table frame in hard maple. What's your suggestion for the finish? I'm contemplating rubbing on a 50/50 mix of boiled linseed oil and turpentine. Any thoughts? I've read somewhere of potential mold problems with this finish in high humidity environments. I live in the Nashville, TN area. Is there anything to this? Thanks.
