Key Features

Premium Mast-R-Lift II Router Lift

At the heart of the Excel™ II is the industry-renowned JessEm Mast-R-Lift II, providing smooth, accurate, and repeatable router bit height adjustments with exceptional precision.

Designed for effortless above-the-table adjustments and router bit changes, the lift delivers professional performance for every routing application.

Precision Zero-Backlash Lift System

JessEm's patented tensioning system eliminates backlash while maintaining smooth spindle movement, providing precise height adjustments and minimizing vibration during routing operations.

The result is repeatable accuracy with every adjustment.

Dedicated Cam Lock Mechanism

For heavy-duty routing applications, the Excel™ II features a dedicated cam lock that securely locks the lift mechanism in position.

Conveniently accessed from the same location as the adjustment crank, a simple twist provides maximum stability during demanding routing operations.

Double-Sealed Bearing System

Premium double-sealed bearings are integrated throughout the lift spindle, height adjustment system, gearboxes, and cam lock mechanism, ensuring exceptionally smooth operation while protecting against dust and wear.

Built for years of maintenance-free performance.

Heavy-Duty Lift Construction

Oversized support columns are hydraulically pressed into reinforced mounting blocks and secured with multiple fasteners, distributing lateral loads evenly throughout the lift system for outstanding rigidity and long-term durability.

Precision Phenolic Router Table Top

The 24" × 32" phenolic tabletop provides exceptional dimensional stability, a smooth low-friction work surface, and excellent resistance to moisture and seasonal movement.

Precision-machined on JessEm's advanced CNC equipment, it delivers a perfectly flat foundation for accurate routing.
