O'SKOOL Router Lift Systems for 3-1/2" Diameter Motors, 9-1/4'' x 11-3/4'' Plate 5-Piece Insert Ring Kit

This is a well built and finished product comparable to any competitors. Lift operation is smooth and solid. There is no apparent backlash and it offers an effective and convenient locking mechanism, affording good adjustment precision. The indexing readout is also effective and convenient to use and zero out. The crank is located well in front of the router and with its long shaft allows manual operation that clears typical fences in any position without interference. The table insert provides a perfect standard fit and adjustment.

Great quality at a discounted price. Worked fantastic for my router table built

I always balked at pricing of these type contraptions but WOW! I Installed in to a newly fabricated router table (take your time and do it properly and you'll be rewarded) and am I loving this lift system. Precision built and components. Money well spent

This lift does not fit Bosch router table. 1/4" too large; I am returning. It is a quality lift but the photo on their webpage showing it in the Bosch table should be removed. O'SKOOL reache out to inform me that I ordered the wrong lift for the Bosch RA1181 table and would let me know when the right lift is back in stock. Good customer service and quick communication.

Love it one of the best router tables inserts I've ever used inserts I have ever used. Love it recommend it.

I like my Bosch RA1181 table but the lift mechanism RA1165 is terrible. I have gone through two of them with lost split pins and proposed fixes are marginal at best. And no matter what you do, you have to get your hand under the table to change out the bit as the router does not raise high enough to get the bottom spanner in place. So I wanted to replace it with a better lift but there is nothing with a plate that is the right size for the RA1181.So I took a chance and bought this one thinking I could trim the aluminium base with my table saw to fit. I shaved a few mm off each edge leaving just enough so that the levelling set screws still worked and it fit pretty much perfectly. The actual inset on the table itself isn't exactly square and there is some thick paint making it a bit uneven so some scraping of the table could have made the fit even better. But I'm very happy with it as is. It's perfectly level, the 3.5" 1617 router raises up and down without issue and it goes high enough to change the bit with ease. The other benefit is that I can close up the front and back of the table and get better dust collection. Previously I had a lot of dust drop down below the table and I couldn't close it up as I had to leave access from below to change the bit.The only minor niggle is that the bent wire tool for changing the plastic inserts is too flexible but this can easily be remedied with a handle or a replacement. It's a very simple tool.Overall I'm very happy with my setup now. I don't think you can get an aluminium topped lift without spending considerably more. I see a lot more routing in my future.

Extremely pleased with this router lift. Works very smoothly and fit perfectly into a phenolic router table top from Woodpeckers. I do not understand what a $450 routher lift could do better than this. No regrets with this purchase.

I have had this router lift for 6 months now and it’s no longer useable. It worked great the first 5 months until it failed. You can longer raise or lower the router without it jumping up and down making precise adjustments impossible. There are bushings that are supposed to stay in place on the guide rails that have come loose causing this. I’ve tried contacting O’SKOOL Tools twice now via email to see if it’s covered under any warranty and they will not get back to me. From now on I’ll be sticking with the more well known brands that provide customer service and take care of their customers
