Router lifts. Makes and where to buy?

[flanajb]

Looking at Router lifts, but I get the impression that the stockists are also the UK distributor. Explaining why there is no price deals to be had.

Rutlands - Jessem
Axminster - UKJ

Jessem sell a model which can be had for $149, but as usual they don't ship to the UK, and I cannot find it over here.

Does anyone know where else you can buy these and if possible a model that could maybe be got for a deal?

Thanks

I use a RouterRaizer - much cheaper and it works

That could potentially be a better option as I can drill a hole in the cast iron router table I currently use.

I didn't have to drill the router table.
I just had to drill a hole in the router table insert plate, no big deal.

Me too. However, with my Hitachi M12, the hole for adjusting the lift is very close to one of the screws that hold the standard router base on. IIRC, the counter sunk hex screws I used to hold the router table insert plate on are smaller diameter than the posidrive screws holding the standard base on. Only a problem if:
a) You have an old Hitachi M12
b) You want to swap it in and out of the table.
