This is the second router insert I made. I made this one to fit into my regular router table.

It has a lead screw and chain lift and it tilts.

This only took me a year on and off at lunch to make this. Hardest time was to find the small chain and sprockets to make the height adjustment.

But that really is super nice. I like that way you have it set up to tilt as well as lift, it would be nice if some of the big name lifts did that as well.
