Investigating the possibility of using a car scissors jack as a router lift ALDI Workzone router table.

Something like this to raise/lower the plunge router.

This is my router table, when this photo was taken had a special jig setup to cut pulleys and wheels.

This is the jack out of my Toyota Camry.

Why not have a go at build my own scissors jack, the arms are cut from laminate flooring – handy stuff.

That might even work…lets give it a go.

It worked quite well raising and lowering the router…until this happened. That’s OK…it’s only pine, we need some hardwood and I have none not even scrap bits – put on the shopping list. Off to Bunnings tomorrow….to be continued.
