The original gold anodised Woodpeckers Router Lift was always something to aspire to – costing somewhere between the cost of a good router and a Festool one (no I have no idea how much the Festool one is – they are always unrivaled on the size of the pricetag!)
Now Woodpeckers have bought out Version 2
Machined out of a solid aluminium block, with a toolless microadjustment (that’s the large wheel front right) it looks pretty impressive.
I have a couple of niggling concerns – the brake still needs an allen (or hex) key which is a bit frustrating, and secondly – what sort of router is it designed for? The V1 was the same – could only fit a smallish motored router (non plunge), which I guess is where the concept of the Uni Lift came from (sold in Oz by Professional Woodworkers Supplies)
So I’m hoping that some of the upgraded concepts of the V2 will be incorporated into a new version of the Uni Lift, so we can still stick a Triton router under it!
Neither are on my router table though…..sadly.

It is probably designed for the Porter Cable router body either two or three hp models that they use in their fixed base or multi base kits. Most US lifts were designed to fit the porter Cable moters and have adapters for other fixed based ones. i think the PWS one is the only one which was designed for plunge routers though some of the others may now have adapters.
