INSTALLING A JESSEM LIFT IN A
CUSTOM ROUTER TABLE
APPLICATION
A JessEm router lift is similar to using a
router mounting plate. Your table top must
have a port machined into the top. JessEm
offers solid phenolic router tables tops
with pre-machined ports for all JessEm
router lifts. If you are installing this Lift in a
custom table application you will have to
fabricate this opening yourself. JessEm
offers a separate template for this
operation. See your JessEm distributor for
the proper template for your JessEm Mast-
R-Lift II.

LEVELING THE LIFT IN THE TABLE TOP
1. With the Mast-R-Lift™ II in the table
top opening, install (10) set screws
into the holes around the lift
perimeter. Adjust (Figure 8) the four
corners first to align the lift surface to
the table surface so that both are
flush. Adjust the remaining set screws
on the sides to provide added support.
Note: If installing in an INCRA router
table, do not use the set screws.
Instead, use the threaded holes for
access to the pre-installed plate leveler
screws built into the router table.
