Router lift - More refinements (part 5 final)

Router lift for ALDI WorkZone router table.

Made some more refinements to the scissor jack.
Cut the jack screw rod to length and put on a temporary knob to test the setup, it works quite well now.

8” Bandsaw – Some improvements

Made some improvements and also fixed a few issues.

This is where it's at...all come together quite well.

Cut a slot in the guide arm for height adjustment and it's held in place with a lock knob.

One issue was that the blade was to close to the guard cover so I had to rebate the MDF support strip on the router table...and we can try out the scissors jack router lift.

Setup the router with a 16mm straight bit and set the depth to 2mm (router lift works well) and cut the rebate on the MDF blade cover - nice.

Another view from the front.

With the blade running clear of the guard put a nicer cover restraint on the frame, simply swing it down to open the left blade guard cover.

Added some plywood covers for the motor and there is still plenty of ventilation.

Today I got some new wheels

For the desk chair.

The original castors don’t roll smoothly any more, not helped by being clogged up with dog hair which is to hard to remove. Just get a new set.

Router lift - Rod to short (part 4)

Router lift for ALDI Workzone router table - not able to get to the workshop till late this afternoon but still managed to do something - get the scissor jack working !

We must be up to Version 3.0 and now the 3/8" threaded rod length it to short.

Router lift – Jack to high (part 3)

In the end I had to drop the jack down a lot further than first envisaged.

And even had to add spacer block.

Another day over and it’s bed time
