router lift
ROUTER
COMPATIBILITY
Fixed Base ONLY
(Not for plunge routers)
ProLift includes our custom-designed
chrome-plated speed wrench, drive
socket and fine-adjustment gauge. No
other lift comes with a better height
adjustment tool!
Bit adjustment from the top is fast
and accurate to 0.001" with your
naked eye. The fine adjustment tool
will “zero-out” from any bit height.
Bit changes don’t get faster, safer or
easier than this! ProLift is the ONLY
lift that allows the motor to pass the
surface of your router top!
Precision-ground steel rings provide
maximum support where it counts.
Leveling screws keep the rings
dead-level with the plate.
No other router lift has this kind of range, speed and accuracy! Speaking of
accuracy, how’s 0.001" adjustment resolution with no need for a fussy and
expensive digital readout? ProLift is the only lift on the market designed for
demanding, daily use — no other lift matches our features. In fact, ProLift is
the only direct-drive lift built around the robust Porter-Cable model 7518 router.
Integral fins keep your router running cool. The direct-drive mechanism eliminates
the complication and slop associated with belts, chains and gears. Don’t settle for
wimpy lifts that clog up with dust, bind, get sloppy and move at a snail’s pace. Isn’t
it time you changed the way you change your bits?
➤ Raise the collet above the table for easy bit changes of any size!
➤ No other router lift has faster linear motion.
➤ Precision-ground steel plate and rings.
➤ Nickel-plated for long life and corrosion resistance.
➤ Fits ALL Bench Dog Tools router tables.
➤ Aluminum housing with built-in cooling fins.
➤ Tool-less removal of reduction rings.*
* rings must be removed for certain operations
Fits 4.2" dia.
motor housings
Smaller motors
require adapter,
see below.
Twin ball bearings support
the weight of the router. Most
other lifts use cheap sleeves.
Direct drive lead screw is
fast-acting and self-cleaning.
Won’t get sloppy over time
like belts, chains and gears.
Bronze pre-load nut prevents back-
driving due to vibration. This exclusive
design eliminates the constant
adjustment required on other lifts.
Aluminum housing has
our exclusive cooling fins
to dissipate excess heat.
Heavy-duty
bronze bushings.
Multiple starting pin
locations.
Solid steel plate and
rings are precision
ground and turned.
Nickel-plated for extreme
wear/corrosion resistance
and low friction.
Column lock secures
the height in any position.
The best built. Period.
