Sawstop Router Table and Incra lift?

[whacky]

Anyone out there have a Sawstop router table and have an Incra Mast R Lift II installed in it?

Just curious about if it can be installed successfully without any issues?

I know the it will fit the standard opening without any problems. Just curious about how it attaches, ie, leveling screws, etc.

Anyone have this setup who can comment??

Trying to decide if I want sawstop inline router table, or incra combo package for my new sawstop. Going to install the Incra TS LS system on the table as soon as I get it.

Thanks

I have the Incra Mast-R-Lift II installed in a SawsStop inline router table and it is a good combination. I set it up in 2018 so I don't recall the details but I think I there was some hardware mix and match when it came to the leveling screws. I do recall that it only took an few minutes to sort it out and between the hardware for the table and the lift I had everything I needed.

The bigger issue was the router table compatibility with the table saw overarm dust collection. The dust collection arm interferes with access to the in-feed side of the fence. To resolve this I ended up getting a dedicated T-handle allen wrench for the dust arm mounting clamp bolts. I loosen the bolts and rotate the arm down when I need to use the router. I secure the allen-wrench to the router dust box with a rare earth magnet so it is always handy. It's a bit of a hassle but it is my only complaint. One of these days I'll replace the bolts so I can use a couple of T-Knobs.

You can see the interference in the picture below linked from the SawStop website. Just look at the dust collection arm in relation to the router bit, fence, and miter slot.

I think I once saw a youtube video in which the owner mounted the router table (can't remember if it was a SawStop brand) on his SawStop such that the router fence was on the side of the edge of the table saw, not on the side of the sawfence.

You can mount the router table on the left or right hand side of the saw. When mounting the router table on the left it mounts to the existing cast iron wing and expands the overall table saw width. When mounting the router table on the right it replaces the existing cast iron wing and the overall table saw width remains the same. If you mount the router table on the left side replacing the existing wing on a PCS saw there is interference with the door to access the belt, motor, and blade brake.

My shop is tight, on space so I needed to go with the right hand option.
