QWORK® Lab Jack Stand 4" x 4" Stainless Steel Router Lift Scissor Lift for Chemical Instrument Support Load Capacity 5KG

I got this to use for macro photography. It’s well made, solid and looks like it will last. Very happy with it.

I am using this as a router lift, and it works well and appears to be stable. As others have mentioned, the top metal plate is a bit thin and flexes under pressure so I will need to add another thicker plate. The adjustment is smooth and fairly easy to operate, a larger adjustment knob would be better. Would I buy another one ?Yes, even with the alterations I will make, I still think it is worth the money.

I got this to help setting up the height of a router fixed in a bench as it was a faf to lean under, push up router, read height gauge and lock off, pain with a capital P !Now i just reach under twist knob read height lock off ready to go. The unit is very compact with a very low closed height, I don't raise to any where near full height but seems to have very little instability when you do, when down low it is rock solid, looks well made and serves my needs perfectly and the price I don't think you can we beat it, excellent price for a good bit of kit.!

Well made and does exactly what it says on the tin. Turn the wheel right and it goes up. Turn it left and it goes down.

I'm using this as a router lift with a large 1/2 inch router. It seems sturdy holds the router well, and gives me 0.1mm adjustment, which I'm very pleased with it. It may not last forever but, this is not really it's intended use, and I'm at the upper end of it's load capacity, so I realise I'm possibly pushing it a bit. I'm only a hobbyist woodworker, so if it only lasts a year, I'd probably just replace it with another.

I used it in the router table to lift a 1020W plunging router. The lift is too weak to work against the compression springs in the router legs when I tried to lift the router upward. However it is fine to lower the router down. So what I do- 1) lift the router higher than necessary with a self made wooden lever, 2) lock the routing depth with the stock router lock - a little lever attached to the leg, 3)extend the lift until it touches the bottom of the router, 4) release the router depth lock, 5) lower the router to the desired height using the lift. If the manufacturer had used a bigger lifting screw and a bigger handle on the screw it would have been an ideal accessory for a router table.

I purchased this as a lift for my router (woodworking), and it works not ideal but cheaper that a proper router lift at about £500. Worth trying out.

Bought to make a lift for a homemade router table. Works really well and has a smooth lift and steady platform.
