JessEm Mast-R-Lift Excel II

JessEm Mast-R-Lift Excel II is their flagship router system and has a solid phenolic table top, with a built in metric lift and sidewinder handle.

The ultimate in quality router systems for the discerning customer looking for excellent durability and precision without the use of an additional router plate.

The 19mm solid phenolic top will not deform and is impenetrable to moisture, thus preventing swelling, rusting and other water damage. The sidewinder carriage wheel provides convenient height adjustment whilst not interfering with the fence mechanism, feather boards or work-piece. The slick, low-profile lift design allows easy router cutter changing from above the table eliminating the need for any under-table adjustments.

JessEm’s tab-loc insert rings lock directly into the aluminium mounting assembly, and these excellent rings are easily changed with a single turn of the two prong insert wrench. The flush fitting, anodised aluminium T-slot/miter track features a 1/4″ slot for bolts and also a 3/4″ slot for multiple accessories, including the JessEm paralign feather boards, INCRA’s Miter Gauges or other sliders. The anodised aluminium not only looks great but also offers excellent corrosion and wear resistance.

This substantial lift features a very high level of accuracy, and with the optional digital readout, immense precision can be achieved – to a 50th of a millimetre. The responsive dual gearbox’s smooth action via the aluminium hand wheel provides very positive feedback. One revolution of the hand wheel raises the lift by 3mm, which can be advanced and locked off at any desired height using the built-in CAM Lock. The CAM Lock eliminates backlash or settling whilst routing ensuring complete user confidence in the height setup.

The router table top can be fixed upon your own base frame, or ideally the sturdy JessEm router table stand for the ultimate setup (available separately or as part of a package).

The conveniently placed 100mm dust extraction port sits within the lift’s body, ensuring maximum dust capture close to the cutting edge. This 100mm port can be connected to the router fence extraction system with the use of an adapter if required.
