User questions & answers

Question: Will the triton tra001 fit in this box
Answer: I use a Triton TRA001 router in my Sommerfeld router table. I had to modify the SawStop dust collection box so the TRA001 would fit into it. I added about 2 1\2" to the back of the box to allow enough space for the router. It works fine but if you can find a bigger box that didn't need to be modified I'd go that way.
Question: Where is this manufactured
Answer: Ask Rockler for more certainty. In my experience If it was made in America then that would be a huge marketing slogan, that isn’t the case with this product so my guess is China or Taiwan like everything else
Question: This lift have its own levelers or do you have to purchase them
Answer: It comes with the leveling screws.
Question: Will this fit a 3 in router body
Answer: Not as is. You need to buy a reducer collar from Rockler. I know they make reducer collars for 3.5” and 3.25” routers, not sure about 3.00”
Question: Is this lift primarily all metal
Answer: Yes

User questions & answers

Question: Is the top resistant to acetone
Answer: Each roller has two side-by-side O-ring-like "tires" that measure just under 1/2" in width. The rollers are mounted on adjustable plates that allow adjustment of the height above the surface, and the outer face of each roller is offset 1 1/8" from the fence. If you need to work with narrow stock, you can use a spacer to move the stock further from the fence to get it directly under the rollers.
Question: Neither the power switch nor the mobility casters are listed in the "included items", does this definitely come with both
Answer: Hi , I purchased the router table version, it works very well, I do not have the Table saw version it is a little too expansive for me, the router system was about $98 and the table saw unit about $280, main difference is Router table the bits are at the fence and the T/Saw it could be away from the system thus T/Saw system has a long shaft for each wheel to reach the material closer to the T/Saw blade. I am planning to make an extension system to utelise the Router unit for table saw, if you are handy person you can do it, do look on YouTube maybe search for JESSEM for table saw, but as a design is fine I can tell you this in comfort as I am a Machine designer and qualified PhD. qualification in machine design. Good luck. Jack
Question: Will it take a JessEm router lift
Answer: No. You need to use the TS(table saw) guides. These are made for a router table. They make both, but the TS gets mounted by you on top of the table saw fence.

User questions & answers

Question: where is it made
Answer: The best that I can answer is that it was assembled in Mexico according to the labeling on the router. No indication as to where te components were made.
Question: you can have with bulb voltage
Answer: Always check the data plate for the correct operating voltage required to run the tool. Never run a tool that is placarded as 115 VAC on a 200 to 220 VAC source. Vice a Versa, a tool that is placarded for 220 VAC will not work on a 115 VAC source. So, any "bulbs" would have to match the input voltage. Check with a hardware store or tool repair location.
Question: what size bit fits this router
Answer: 1/4" shank. Maximum bit diameter 0f 1 3/8". With a maximum bit diameter of 1 3/8" don't attempt to make heavy cuts as that could tend to over load the motor. Take light cuts and increase depth or horizontal cuts incrementally as long as they don't affect router speed or loading.
Question: Does anyone have a correction for bits working out of the collet, towards the work, when cutting with the side of a straight bit
Answer: I wonder if you had bottomed out the bit in tne collet. Insert the bit, then pull it back out by a small distance and tighten the collet. Bits bottomed out have a habit of coming loose.
