Underside. the brownish post is the height adjustment VIA hex key through the top.

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.

What's the possibility of you offering these to some other woodworkers?

It's beautiful.

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.
