So I bought the lift and discovered that the plate is a tad smaller than my existing aluminum plate. No sweat ... I'll just make a new top for my tab le and this time be super accurate in the cutout for the plate. Couldn't f ind my pattern bit as it wasn't with my other bits and took me most of a da y to remember I last used it in my trimmer router.
I'm pleased with the results and have only two complaints about the lift: t here are no leveling screws for the plate and I'm a 32nd or two deep -- pro bably just enough for a piece to catch on the left side of the plate. And the bolts included to secure the plate to the top are lacking the correspon ding nuts. Easy fixes to both.
The lift works smoothly and will handle both my PC690 and my variable speed Dewalt, so no need for a speed reducer.
