Background
Our router table was a donor. It contains a not terrible lift, and either had a router, or we put one in.
The lift is not perfect. The router is underpowered, and now the collet is both bad at holding bits, and apparently quite difficult to remove bits from.
The suggested items provide better operation as a lift, as well as considerably more power. The collet support will expand from 1/4" to 1/2" and 1/4" [and other sizes reduced from 1/2", should we acquire additional adapters]. Getting this sorted out now will also make it known now what will need to be done to make the table dust collected.
Proposal Text
This proposal is suggesting the following:
- Replace the lift with a lift capable of holding a motor, and operating better.
- Obtain a router motor [not a router]
- Obtain a collet reducer [1/2" to 1/4", to support existing bits]
- Combine the above, and drop them into the existing router table, in place of the existing toolset
Additionally, it is possible that, should we go another round with Stanley Black & Decker, we could request the selected motor, as Porter Cable is one of their brands.
