Woodpecker PRL-V2 Precision Router Lift

[stevieC54]

Has anybody in the UK got / used one of these ?
If so what routers are available in the UK to fit ?

There is a small firm in the UK that sell Woodpecker stuff - give them a ring?

For what its worth, I have a Woodpecker router plate which might be the same size/design and my DW625 fits?

Hi,

Thanks for the reply,
I actually got the idea from the site you mentioned -
I am looking at buying the Woodpecker Unilift and saw this and just wondered if anyone had / used one.
It looks a new design and is obviously aimed to use the US fixed base routers.

hi

i have used one, but the rise and fall guides are in imperial, which is annoying. so i tend to use the trend measuring tool. it is a very nice piece of kit expertly machined out of aluminum and very simple to use.

it is important the table top is perfectly flat with the router lift. i think its a very useful tool for when you cant be bothered to set up the spindle to do a a small groove or rebate.

hi adidat,

I didn't think about the guides being imperial - not a great problem though.

What router did you use with it. ?

I use a RouterRaizer with my DW a much cheaper alternative and works well.
For checking the height I use the cheap Trend depth/height scale.
