This came up as part of anothe rone of my post called "Precision Router Lift versus Quick Lift:"
In that thread it was pointed out that buying the big Milwaulkee router or a Trinton would give one the ability to lift the router without having to buy both a router and a lift.
It's my understanding that a router lift is extremely acurate (0.001 inch) and smooth to operate whereas the built in above the table adjustments are accurate to only 1/64'th inch (0.015").
In my case, I already own a Porter-Cable 7519 so I could
1) Continue to adjust from under the table and save the money. 2) Buy a nice router lift like the PRL. 3) Buy a nice Milwaulkee 3.5 HP router with the height adjustment built in for about the same price as the #2 option.What say y'all?
