Looking for router lift recommendations

I have an old Jessem first generation router lift. Was niceat the time but it has too many faults (no above table bit changeswithout a collet extension, will sink a little with vibration, theplate is about twice as big as new ones and it places the bit too farfrom the miter slot, etc.) I am looking to buy another router lift and router and want tomake sure I make the right purchase this time. I would consider arouter/lift combo if the some of the features are only available froma lift using a certain router... The most important thing to me is that I can do above tablebit changes and that it is rock solid nuts on accurate. If I set itat 1/4 inch height and run 200 feet of wood through it I want it tostill be at 1/4 on the last board.TIA

Hilti still makes a unit that uses .22 cal rim fire blanks.

Drive a nail into a steel ingot mold without a problem.

I used one of those things to build a garage. It drove anchor bolts into a cement slab. I was enclosing a car/boat/port.

As does Remington. Totally different beasties, though.

I have a cheap Remington that I use on concrete. It works well, though it needs a smart blow from a hammer to touch it off. If I ever need to drive more than a few I'll buy one with a real trigger.

Go to froogle.com - same as
formatting link
Search on "triton router".
Take your pick of sellers.

Anyone who's on the internet should know enough to use a search engine to find stuff.

I'm glad I chose the Trend then not the Triton.
