Mast-R-Lift Excel II (Lift)
Enhanced Bearing System:Double sealed bearings in the lift spindle, height adjustment mechanism (actuated through two gear boxes), and Cam Lock guarantee exceptional longevity and smooth operation. Designed to handle even the heaviest routers on the market, the Excel II effortlessly raises and lowers with precision
Patented Tensioning Feature: Our lifts incorporate a patented tensioning feature that eliminates backlash while adding the right amount of resistance to the spindle's rotation. This minimizes vibration from thread clearance and prevents unintended spindle movement during routing.
Dedicated Cam Lock: Going beyond the patented tensioning feature, we've added a dedicated locking mechanism for heavy-duty, long-term routing tasks. Easily accessible from the same location as the crank handle, a simple twist secures the Excel II firmly in place, providing confidence when making height adjustments.
Robust Shaft Mounting: The shafts on the Mast-R-Lift Excel II are securely pressed into a larger diameter mount using hydraulic pressure. Multiple screws fasten the shafts to the top plate, distributing lateral loads for a rigid and durable mount capable of withstanding the toughest routing operations.
Precision Machined Components: All machined components on the Mast-R-Lift Excel II, including the phenolic table top, are meticulously crafted on our CNC mills at our Canadian facility. Non-wear aluminum components on the lift are anodized for enhanced appearance, corrosion resistance, and added wear resistance.
Versatile Compatibility: The underside of the table is pre-drilled to accommodate our TA Fence, Mast-R-Fence II, Mast-R-Fence III, Rout-R-Fence II, Heavy Duty Steel Stand, and ALTS Stand. Table top dimensions: 24" x 32", with a sturdy 3/4" thickness.
While the original Rout-R-Lift created a whole new category of tool for the woodworker, the Mast-R-Lift Excel II from JessEm Tool Company represents true evolution in router table design. Rather than fitting a separate router lift into a large table opening, the Mast-R-Lift Excel II consists of a integral router lift mechanism securely bolted to the table top resulting in a smooth, flat table surface. Mast-R-Lift Excel II features a unique motor clamping system that can be configured to accept most sizes of cylindrical fixed-base router motors and a remote crank handle for bit height adjustment conveniently located below the infeed side of the table-top. The Mast-R-Lift Excel II includes 2" insert ring, insert ring wrench, start pin and all necessary hardware to mount to a JessEm stand and router table fence.
