Re: feedback on embedded router in table


 

This topic was discussed in 2019. If you search "KF700 Spindle Change", you can find the conversation.

Here below was my response in the thread. Now, I have the Incra router lift with Porter-Cable 7518, very happy with it. I already sold the Bosch router.

-----------------------------------

I have a Bosch 2.3 HP router ?() with the fixed base in the router table.

Although you do not need the router lift, it has its problem related to retaining ring , the retaining ring came off on my Bosch router too. It is not a good design. I replaced the retaining ring with split collar

The height adjustment is not smooth, simply cannot compare to a good router lift. Also, when the dust gets into the switch and fixed base housing, the router stops running. I think I already cleaned the dust at least 3 times.

So my conclusion is : DO NOT use the Bosch router with the fixed base in the router table.

I will replace the Bosch router with Porter-Cable 7518 with the Jessem router lift I bought before.

Hi David,

This thread reminded me that I have one of these millions that you produced. Used once and then I got router spindle. I need to find it and put it up for sale.

I did mention it to Bob in a private conversation but he had already ordered the router lift.

I have a nice extension table attached to my k700s. I have the perfect place to drop?a router lift into it. It's melamine/mdf top.? I have a shaper but am finding?I have a need for a router table from time to?time.??

I can either cut out the top and drop the lift into the table, OR I could cut out a bigger piece and drop in a router table top that is set up for the fence as well.?

Any of you faced with this choice, and what did you do?
