I would think that an air cylinder could give you the push and a spring and air release the return.

Hey Tim

Could you mount a plunge router in the Z axis tray? this way you could have the best of both worlds. Plunge depth with the Z axis and rapid release of the router/ spring action.

Just an idea.

Ok new topic here to add to the day.
As you all know what happens when you reach the place your router stops when turning, fluting etc.... it usually burns So...... get in route and get out no burn. I have been working on an idea in my mind to convert my Z access with the Non Plunge router PC that several of us have with the threaded adjustable up and down I want to disengage the threading rod and run it similar to a plunge router without loosing the view I have with the Z access and router hanging on the front. I really appreciate how you can see the tooling being used so (no I'm not mounting a plunge router on the red plate.) so I have a plan for a lever and possibly a spring return type action to aid in returning or coming out of the cut. Similar to a servo motor but with out adding a motor.

Has anyone done besides Curtis with using a ShopSmith assembly?
I have several idea's and am going to apply something but looking for some feed back.
