How many bit inserts come with the router lift? (Do I need to buy the extra inserts I see offered?)

I can't remember how many it came with but I do have 4 plus the solid inert to cover the opening so I think I did purchase the kit. It does give you more choices on bit diameter. I can also say that this is the finest lift I have ever used. It is expensive but worth every penny.

I'm not sure what you mean by bit inserts, but if you men that red thing in the middle, then it comes with two. A small one and a larger one. I have some Festools and appreciate quality tools. The Jessum lift is my favorite tool for now.

I am sorry, I can not answer your question because I have not used the router lift yet. But I think you should not buy them right now because there are different and better types. You can buy them later if you think you need them.

I had to find a special router bit to fit the kit and do the job. Don't remember where I purchased the bit.

I purchased a Jessem lift and a Bosch 2-1/4 router and I find this combo works great. Lift is very smooth and accurate. The router supplies all the power I need.

They are metal but don't confuse this base with an actual router lift. It is a poor substitute for a decent lift and you feel like you are forcing the bit up each time you have to raise it. On more than one occasion I turned the handle too many times and snapped the retaining ring off shaft. Consider the Jessem Rout-r-lift which is under $200 and fits this motor perfectly and offers a true above the table solution.

I am not absolutely sure but if you go to the Incra website and look under master lift, you will see a list of acceptable and compatible routers.

Chad, bit changing is not dependent in this case on the router but rather the router lift. This is a motor only router which means you will have to marry it to a lift. I have a woodpecker sidewinder lift which I really like. I can lift the router above the table in a second remove and replace the bit and then lower it again quickly. So, invest in a good router lift and this router will certainly do the job for you. I hope this helps.

The phenolic insert comes without mounting holes. You have to drill your own, so if the router is smaller than the size of the insert you should be fine. It does state fits any router.

Sorry Garry, I can't help with the 5620. I can say that the Router Lift is easy to use. I biought the hole package table, router, lift and stand. My first Kreg tool was there old metal pocket hole tool, and have watched the CO. progress slowly over the years and they now have a good line of quality tools. They also have some good videos. Chas.

No, it comes with a PCIe RAID card that has to be installed in PC. The best you could hope for attaching it to your router is that the router might see 4 drives, but I'd bet only 1 drive would be visible, if you're lucky

Gary, it has been awhile since I bought my router extension so not sure what "insert" you would be talking about. If your talking about the plate on which you mount the router, there was no plate with the proper hole pattern available for the OLD Black and Decker router I planned to use. So, I drilled and counter sunk the needed holes in the plate I had. I believe there was a chart listing routers and the drop in plate numbers which fit those routers. GOOD LUCK!

Yes and you should also give a little extra support with your other hand when raising a bit. This is not a substitute for a decent router lift.

Yes - But if you are using a router lift you should check with the manufacturer.

No it's not included as previously stated, but look for the Porter-Cable 6090LR Router Kit, if you want to compare them.

only if the Router Attachment will take the standard stepped 1 3/16 guide insert (30.17mm)

Hi Gary, There probably is an edge guide available for this router because the slots are built into the base for the guides. There aren't slots in the fixed base however, just the plunge base.

It's not safe to use a 1/2 inch bit on a small horsepower router like this one. For my workshop, I bit the bullet and bought a 3HP Porter Cable & built a sturdy table in which to permanently mount it. I've never looked back. Done door panels and dovetails and all kinds of mouldings with the big router, and this little one lives in the table's drawer along with its 1/4" bits 'til I need it for laminates and other edging jobs. Have had both routers for close to 20 years and they're still going strong. Buy the right machine for the job, you won't be sorry you did.

I don't have a router lift, the router has a crank accessible from the table top. I just crank the router up and change the bit. No problem. Moving the fence is no problem. I find it quite easy. I'm very happy with this table although I admit I'm a novice when it comes to routers but have made some very nice display tables with it.
