Has anyone used a router lift device on a Hitachi M12V? I have had one in my router table for several years and would like to have a lift device, but they are a little pricey and I want to hear from someone who has had a positive experience.

I haven't installed one, but I've seen the Router Raizer on the M12V, and it is really nice, and it has gotten a lot of good reviews. But I can't find it for less than $90!
I'm thinking about putting it on mine. Let me know what you come up with.

The Woodpecker plunge lift is about as good as you can get and the price isnt too bad at $129.95.
Nope, no affiliation, just a satisfied woodbutcher.
I bought a Router Razier to install onto my TR12 (non variable speed hitachi). It took me a bit longer then instructions, however it was easy. I use this on my router all the time in the table. My "insert" is two pieces of 1/4" hardboard glued together and drilled out. If it flexes I don't see it. Cost was basically $2.00 worth of scraps.
You can still plunge the router with the router razer, so if you want to take it out of the table it is an option.

Google "DIY router lift".
JessEm gets over twice that for their Mast-R-Lift Excel. Purdy stuff, though.
