JessEm Mast-R-Lift Excel II -Router Table with integral Router Lift

The Mast-R-Lift Excel II is JessEm's top-of-the-line Router Table top. There are many great features added to this Excel that customers have requested. Double sealed bearings to the lift spindle, 6x double sealed bearings to the height adjustment mechanism (actuated through 2 gearboxes) and three double sealed bearings to the Cam Lock. This will provide you with a lifetime of use; even with the heaviest routers on the market, your Excel II will be able to raise and lower with ease.

All of JessEm's Lifts have the patented feature of adding tension to the threaded spindle, which will remove any backlash while still adding some resistance to the rotation of the thread. This removes any vibration from the thread clearance and also prevents the spindle from moving and changing your setting while routing. This feature is included in the Mast-R-Lift Excel™ II as well. We wanted to go one step further with Excel II, so we added a dedicated locking mechanism for heavy-duty long-term routing operations. Now, not only do you have the patented tensioning feature, but they also have added a cam lock that is accessible from the same location as the crank handle. A simple twist ensures your Excel II is locked securely in place, giving you more confidence that the height is set and locked. 

The Shafts on the Mast-R-Lift Excel II, like all of JessEm Router Lifts, are pressed into a shaft mount with hydraulic pressure. By pressing the shafts into a larger diameter mount, they are able to attach the shafts to the top plate and fasten in place with more than one screw.  This spreads the lateral load and provides a very rigid and durable mount that will withstand the toughest routing operations. All the machined components on the Mast-R-Lift Excel II, including the phenolic table top, are machined on one of JessEm's CNC mills in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada location. All of the aluminium non-wear components on the lift are anodised for appearance, corrosion resistance and some wear resistance. 

The underside is pre-drilled to accept JessEm's TA Champagne Fence, Mast-R-Fence II,  Mast-R-Fence III, Rout-R-Table Stand and ALTS Premium Stand.
