Jet Xacta Lift Router INS with Deluxe Fence

Jet makes an interesting lift and fence combined unit that is unusual in the market place for router table lifts. First of all is the size, it is much bigger than other brands. That is because they have designed it to fit in their table saw extension, so it is an accessory that you can buy to enhance your saw. While this is a good idea, woodworkers can take it a step further and build their router table around the lift, if they like the brand. The price is certainly competitive with other lifts and the features are there too.

• One turn of the handle raises or lowers the bit .050”
• 2 ½” inches of travel is available
• All adjustments can be made above table
• Two solid ¾” steel shafts hold the router motor assembly
• Sized at 11 ¾” x 14 ¾” x ¼
• Heavy duty anodized aluminum
• Ten leveling screws for height adjustment
• 3 5/8” bit opening

Deluxe Fence

• Mounts to the fence
• Wood extensions are adjustable and replaceable
• Safety guard

For the money you would never get the fence included with the lift, so this is more of a bonus than usual. There is not a lot of flexibility with the fence since it attaches directly to the insert, however you can tweak the design and add some T-track to the table so the fence could mount where ever you want. This is part of the woodworker’s code in adjusting and tweaking stuff the way you want it. Getting custom jigs and tools is half the fun and sets you apart from everyone else.
