I'm very skeptical of this new gadget. The micro switch is not going to be reliable. Watch the readout when he presses the up button one time. First time was no change, second was .001 then .006, then the third time it jumps .009 then slips to .012 and slides to .011 and then it goes .018". That does not seem fast or accurate to me. I would guess if you turn the speed down to less than 15% you could get .001 increments, but that is slow.
If I was designing this toy I would have used a choice of increment buttons where you can move the router by .0001, .001, .01, .1. Either that or direct height entry. How cool would it be for us to have a diameter mode where it starts at zero which would be the center of our stock and as it raises a half inch, it reports a 1" diameter. I really hope there is a way to shut the beeper off or change the volume. That would drive me nuts. Otherwise, I like the concept, but the reality is, IMHO, it might really suck. -Tim ----- Original Message ----- From: "cole andrews" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 22, 2010 6:28 PM Subject: Re: Mlcs power lift I bet Tim is already on this one ,the mlcs does look kind of flimsy .Not nearly as robust looking as Jessem lift or something from Incra.
