KREG Precision Router Lift - PRS5000

KREG Precision Router Lift - PRS5000

The Precision Router Lift helps you elevate your routing capabilities by providing precise control when making router setup changes or changing bits. The lift replaces the standard insert plate in a router table (the 3⁄8" x 9 1⁄4" x 11 3⁄4" plate fits all Kreg® router tables plus many popular brands) and accepts any of 20+ popular router models—without the need adapters or modifications—in a high-performance carriage that you raise and lower from above the table.

With the Precision Router Lift, there’s no more reaching under the table to make adjustments or change bits, plus vastly improved control over all adjustments, large or small. Instead, simply use the lift’s included crank to adjust the height of your router bit easily and precisely from above the table. This makes adjustment fast, simple, and accurate so you can set up your router faster, and then dial in the exact bit height you require using the Precision Router Lift’s built-in micro-adjustment scale. The lift also simplifies changing bits by allowing you to do that from above the table, as well.

Precision is more than part of the name with this lift, too. The Precision Router Lift is designed so that every full revolution of the adjusting crank moves the carriage—and your bit—exactly 1⁄16", though adjustments down to thousandths of an inch are possible. A built-in micro-adjust scale can be zeroed out at any point to establish your baseline bit setup, so you can make exact bit height changes, and readjust to the exact same setting confidently every time for repeat cuts.

Whether you’re upgrading an existing router table, setting up a new one, or even building your own custom table, the Precision Router Lift is the perfect routing accessory. It offers the precision you demand to achieve exacting routing standards, along with the fast, easy performance you want in order to spend less time setting up and more time routing.

Maintenance Tips

• Surface Cleaning: Wipe the router lift and table insert with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and debris after use.

• Lift Mechanism Care: Periodically lubricate moving parts and the lift screw with light machine oil for smooth operation.

• Router Bit & Collet: Inspect bits and collet for debris and wear; clean or replace as needed to maintain precision.

• Calibration Check: Regularly verify lift alignment and router height settings to ensure accurate cuts.

• Dust Management: Use a vacuum or air blower to remove sawdust from the lift and surrounding areas to prevent clogging.

• Hardware Inspection: Check screws, bolts, and fasteners periodically; tighten as necessary to maintain stability and safety.

• Storage: Store in a dry, dust-free environment to prevent rust and maintain performance.
