I hope your not planning to use the gear setup he has and just use a handscrew on the leadscrew. Also if I was making something similar, I would make the locking mechanism work off the front, not the back. Curt's right about no safe way of making plunge cuts. Think about that before going too far.

I think I will agree with Tim on that one, start small and you can always add to it latter. good luck on your project. Im looking forwards to seeing how it turns out for you. ;-) C.A.G. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here is a link to Mattias' router lift that I am basing my design on: Building the tilting router lift: http://youtu.be/C-FxDj10Fhc Brandon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
