I'm in Greensboro, NC and my shop is in my uninsulated barn that has really good ventilation; translated: it gets really cold inside when it is cold outside. Insulating would be a very expensive...

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...
