did some router work ...the doors we made were raised panel doors ...not so good as we tried to adjust the router to work... as we turned the table upside down and adjust it to the correct height...I bought this item ...ole man you talk about working ...made easy...were was this product ...I have it now and panel doors no problem or anything else I choose to use a router on...well I am one who may be called a perfectionest...the doors we made before I had this product did work out but was time comsuming...now we can work much much faster with better results and less wear on the nerves

Practicality overules economics [Posted on 2008-02-13]
It took a lengthy period of reflection to convince me to spend $170 on a device that might reduce effort at the router table by a minute fraction.
I already had considerable experience with an extensive variety of complex tasks and could not imagine how my work might be eased significantly. But the magazine writers won me over, and now the unit itself has proven itself indispensible. Imagine performing all slight adjustments in elevation quickly and efficiently from directly overhead.
The router lift, made for Rousseau by Jess'em has won a permanent placement on my table.

Rousseau 3002 Router Lift LS  [Posted on 2008-02-25]
The Rousseau router lift is really a Jessem under the covers. It performed as well as any router lift could with a 2.5max HP Dewalt motor. I found the graduations easy to read and the crank mechanism easy to turn. The accuracy was as good as any of the other lifts I have but at a lower price. I would recommend it to anyone who is thinking of adding a router lift to their table. I purchased this with the MLCS cabinet saw extension table. I had a good fight to get the table mounted to the saw.
The Rousseau router plate did not fit as snug as I would have liked into this table. I had to do some interesting engineering to get it secure. Once secure onto the table, The married up combination of the router lift, plate and router table performed great.

Beautiful product but needs better parts QC [Posted on 2008-10-03]
I am an intermediate level woodworker and this is my first router lift. I bought it to use in a shopmade router table, and I am very happy with it so far. I have been freehanding everything with a VERY old Craftsman Router up until now. I need to buy a new router to use in this system (I'm thinking Bosch 1617EVSPK so I'll have a plunge router, too, if I need it). This lift is a precision instrument, and seems to be based on a design used by Jess-M and Rockler as well. My only complaint(s)... it comes with six threaded inserts to use in it's leveling system. Two of the six inserts were defective (bad threading). Also, the leveling screws (nylon) are too short to use in any table much more than 3/4" thick. I had to go out and search for a new pair of inserts and longer leveling screws to use with my table.
