Open the box and you see a bag of part one will never see in any hardware store parts aisle - does not look like nearly [price]worth of hardware. The first two minutes will give you a headache, faced with a sheaf of instructions and many, many small parts. Once you get to the single sheet of paper specific to your router, things start to ease up. The instructions are very well written, with specific warnings on areas one may go astray on - despite the complexity of the process, the installation goes very smoothly if one follows instructions to the letter.

Drilling a small hole in the bottom of your router base may be necessary, but the model specific templates make that process far less daunting than it should be. Color coded parts and a 'to scale' part index minimizes potential mixups during the assembly process. Total time preparing and installing on my Hitachi M12 router was just under an hour.

Performance is as-expected, solid and smooth, and elegantly simple. When comparing the purchase price of this with other, more 'meaty' models costing upwards of three times as much (considering all we're looking to do is increment the router up or down an inch or a millimeter) the unit is a bargain. No more under-the-table router height knob adjustment contortions here.

Not fancy, not impressive looking, but it sure works well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works very well but not an easy project, November 29, 2001

This review is from: Router Raizer RZ100 Precise Router Depth Adjustment (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought this for my Freud 3-1/4 HP plunge router on a Jessem Rout-n-Slide router table. Putting it together proved to be a fairly intense process, including a difficult job of forcing four small compression locking pins onto the legs of the router. However, when I managed to finish installing the Router Raizer on the router, it is really wonderfully easy to raise or lower the bit using the deceptively simple handle bar. I recommend it highly if you don't mind a complex installation.

For the price nothing else compares. It is cleverly engineered and does exactly what it says (very well). I had an installation issue because of bad machining in my Freud FT2000e and Bob (the owner and creator) was wonderful in talking me through a fine solution. Everything is installed and works well. Can't imagine a router table without this or a some sort of lift. Consider this, for what you save buying this over a lift system you can buy an incrajig system!

Directions are clear and precise. Don't let the parts and directions faze you. Basically this is an easy installation modulo the imprecisions of routers (the Router Raizer itself is VERY precisely made).
