Make a Router lift out of recycled closet door rails.

Step 8: The sled part 6

Now, the way we are going to move the router up and down is using a threaded rod, and the way to mechanically attach it to the wood sled is by using a kind of screw in nut (I don´t now it's name, but you can see it in the pic and i`m sure someone will now the name ant post it in the comment section)

I put it there because I wanted it as far away from the router as possible, but that it would not get in the way out getting the router in and out of the lift.

That is a "threaded insert" or threaded bushing

I thought it may be a t nut but they are the hammer in variety. I used one of these to repair a mortise gauge but can't think of the name of them either. They were in the specialist screw aisle of my local bigbox hardware store
