Sorry theres no pic! On iPads since IOS 8 came out it just hangs on upload. So I fixed the upside down problem thanks to Michael but now have a much worse one!

Only $630 ($399 + $229) (http://www.rockler.com/ready-2-lift-router-lift) with the controller to make it work :rolleyes:

I'd spend the ducks ($55) on the DRO (http://www.rockler.com/igaging-digimag-magnetic-digital-router-lift-remote-readout) and crank it by hand. It can get even cheaper if you hack a Horrible Freight caliper to make your own DRO.

Wow....and by the time you ship here and factor the exchange rate ......going at $USD0.83 to our $AUD1.00 it gets expensive.
I have a Triton router fitted to end of my table saw with its own in- built crank handle and a portable digital callipers.
Anyhow since the SB don't use the table mounted router much.

Hey Bob.....I'm still using 7.1.2 IOS......I never update until many, many months later......just like with SB3 :rolleyes:

Cheers

Chrissy said to tell you Brady that we aint getting it and will be sticking with the Wixey! (She is the treasurer!). Seriously I couldnt go back to working without DRO on the planer/thicknesser as we just dont have under thickness problems ever.

Michael I am a sucker for new stuff and know deep down you shouldnt upgrade OS early. I have the same Triton Router. Is there much vibration on yours? If I leave anything on the table it "walks" off! It is very close to being a top router and the spindle lock is brilliant but the winder mechanism is daft the way it doesnt line up unless you look. I must get off my bum and fix this!

Bob - not sure if you got the PM I sent a few weeks ago about the care package....

Hey Bob.....my triton setup on woodpecker table insert is rock steady......yea when you drop the winder through the hole it can be a little hit or miss but mine is not in an enclosed cabinet so I just look under the table to line it up....I have dust collection straight to the router and works brilliantly.

You could probably cobble one together yourself for $100.00 by going to

if sure someone like Dana who knows Audrino could figure out a interface or controller for settings...:confused:

I just got a Wixey for my router lift (http://www.amazon.com/Wixey-WR525-Remote-Digital-Readout/dp/B001PTGBSU/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1412261127&sr=8-8&keywords=wixey+digital), on the cheap.
They were closeout priced on Amazon. 27 bucks. I see they're $55 now.
Ha!!! I beat The Man!!! :D

Anyone need a Wixey Saw Fence readout (http://www.amazon.com/Wixey-WR700-Fence-Digital-Readout/dp/B001PTGBT4/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1412261127&sr=8-6&keywords=wixey+digital)?
I have one leaning in my corner, made it obsolete when I put the Incra system on my sawstop.
