HF hydraulic lift table

[Popeye]

For quite awhile I've been looking at this with the thought in mind to put my planer on it and shoving it under the right side of my TS.
Brought this critter home last week and decided not to put the planer on it. Built a height extension (2 x 10 is extreme overkill but it was handy) so it can be made level with the TS, planer, router table and RAS table. Added a piece of old counter top.
This is probably gonna end being the most handy addition I've added in years. It works well for infeed, great for small to medium assembly (wish I'd have had it when I was building the kitchen cabinets) Makes putting things at the right height a snap.

Great idea, Pat. I'm going to have to remember that one.

Looks good. How does it lock?

Good morning Rick, when I picked it up last week it was $100 till May 12 and I had a 15% off coupon for one item that came with the sale flyer. This is the 500# capacity model.

It doesn't lock but I don't see that as an issue. I suppose over time the check valve or release valve in the return line could begin to leak by. My guess is that will be a long time down the road..... but it is HF and did come from China. Pat
