Twin ball bearings support the weight of the router. Most

other lifts use cheap sleeves.

Direct drive lead screw is fast-acting and self-cleaning. Won’t get sloppy over time like belts, chains and gears.

Bronze pre-load nut prevents back- driving due to vibration. This exclusive design eliminates the constant adjustment required on other lifts.

No other router lift has this kind of range, speed and accuracy! Speaking of accuracy, how’s 0.001" adjustment resolution with no need for a fussy and expensive digital readout? ProLift is the only lift on the market designed for demanding, daily use — no other lift matches our features. In fact, ProLift is the only direct-drive lift built around the robust Porter-Cable model 7518 router. Integral fins keep your router running cool. The direct-drive mechanism eliminates the complication and slop associated with belts, chains and gears. Don’t settle for wimpy lifts that clog up with dust, bind, get sloppy and move at a snail’s pace. Isn’t it time you changed the way you change your bits?

➤Raise the collet above the table for easy bit changes of any size!

➤No other router lift has faster linear motion.

➤ Precision-ground steel plate and rings.

➤Nickel-plated for long life and corrosion resistance.

➤Fits ALL Bench Dog Tools router tables.

➤Aluminum housing with built-in cooling fins.

➤Tool-less removal of reduction rings.*

*rings must be removed for certain operations
