This New Router Lift replaces ALL OF YOUR JIGS!

This new machine just changed my entire woodworking workflow. I'm test driving and reviewing the brand new Shark RS1000 Pro router lift from Next Wave. The RS1000 looks like an ordinary router table from the outside but has the brains of a CNC. Giving accurate control over your bit height and fence placement. The RS1000 has 14 built in apps that replace all sorts of jigs and saves a ton of setup time. The moment I saw this machine I knew I had to have one in my shop. Don't be fooled by the touch screen and the motors. You don't need to design anything on a computer to upload. In fact the machine doesn't even allow you to upload files. Everything is built in and easy to use. AND you don't have to use the apps and can use the machine like any other router table. Learn more about the Shark RS1000 Pro here:

This may be one of the coolest woodworking tools I’ve ever seen. I can’t wait to see once we scratch the surface

This would completely remove all the fun(?) I get from messing up every joint I make. I can see me having to actually buy firewood since I won't be generating it from my failed projects.

I have the previous version- the Ready2Rout and Ready2Lift motorized combo. I was always disappointed that they didn't develop the apps like they promised. I was looking for an automatic version of what Incra's router fence positioner can do, and Next Wave implied that was coming. But I never got any update. I thought it was a good system for small projects and workpieces, such as for dovetailing shallow drawers and making boxes. But for the price, it needs to do a lot more than that. I haven't tried the new version, but it looks like the same thing. So much potential, but after all these years I am starting to wonder if they will ever take it to the next level.

@guitarchitectural Жыл бұрын

I tend to agree. I want to imagine it replacing a domino but, by virtue of being a router table add-on, this is for small projects... Hard to get precise joinery in large pieces. With only one of the x/y axes controlled by the machine, there's a lot of potential for user error (read: liability concerns) which will limit what it can do

@DKWalser Жыл бұрын

Thanks, James. You voiced my biggest concern: Because it's a closed system, you're dependent on the company continuing to develop new apps and to continue to support the system. That's a huge risk. For example, a few years ago I bought a 'smart' treadmill. One of the selling points was that the treadmill connected to an app on your phone, which gave you access to several pre-programmed exercise routines, allowed you to create your own routines, and would track your workouts. It even weighed you each time you used the treadmill, so you could track your progress. The problem was the company quit updating the app within a year of my purchase. The app won't run on phones that are up-to-date with the current operating system (or even several iterations before the current system). That means I cannot use all the wizardry I paid for when I bought my treadmill.

I saw an ad in a magazine for this just yesterday and hadn't had a chance to follow up on it to see what it is, so great timing for your video. I hope you'll do a Part Two in a few months after you've used it more...and have scratched some surfaces. 🙂 I'll be interested to find out how well it stands up to heavy use over time. Did dust get into it and cause problems? Does it still maintain tolerances such as the set bit depth, spacing, etc as well then as it does now? Maybe you can cut some box joints or dovetails on one piece now and on the mating piece in a few months and see how well they fit together? I'll also be interested to see if Shark can or will update the software, such as to add the features in your list of cons, if software updates can be installed by the user, and if they're free. Or will they come out with a "new and improved RS10001" and early adopters are left out? Their website says it can be used with almost any router table, but what about using accessories such as after-market fences (e.g. Woodpeckers) or shop-made ones with all of their additional features? Thank you for a really informative and entertaining video.

Your channel popped up on my youtube starting page and i just want to say that i really enjoy your videos. I am not a wood worker, mostly because of not having the space or tools to do so. Fun material though to work with. I have bought a book called "The Folk Art Instrument Builders Reference" by Charles E. Atchison which i hope to be able to do something with in the future. Building and playing your own instruments sounds really fun. I have built a really simple cigar box guitar once by taking the neck from a childrens guitar and attaching it to a cigar box. Plays pretty well. Take care and thank you for the videos.

At almost $2k, I think it’s probably best to save up a little more and get into a decent entry level CNC

@missingegg Жыл бұрын

I sort of agree, but I can see the market for this machine. A lot of people have a workflow in their shop that doesn't involve CAD software. This machine seems like it could easily be integrated into that workflow. If you want a degree of automation, but you don't want to start paying for a Fusion license, or learn how to use CAD software, this could be a good investment.

Entry level CNCs can't do anything efficiently, reliably or accurately. It has no place in a real workshop.

@CliffCutts Жыл бұрын

@@serdarbas8016 I think we have a different definition of "entry level" CNC. If you are spending $3-4k on any of the typical CNCs, you can definitely do all of the above and more. Especially if you shrink your footprint. needing a CNC to cover 4'x8' dramatically increases on the cost where as, something that does the sizes the machine from this video does is nearly professional level in 3-4k range.

@@CliffCutts a professional CNC can replace %80 of all my tools but I still own CNC + router + tablesaw, bandsaw… and other 20 tools. just because it can doesn’t mean it should. All tools functionally overlap eachother at some degree and all have different weaknesses and strengths. It can be cost, speed, efficiency, accuracy, repeatability etc. This router is almost a upside down CNC with your hands being Y axis. But it really have it’s advantages. Think of this as a afforable CNC with super fast setup and preset macros.

Really well thought out and useful tool definitely but can you use it to scratch up a surface. Love how each step you need to input has a clear image of what it's asking for so you can't misunderstand what you're being asked. Honestly can see this making life so much easier for so many woodworkers, both pro a dedicated amateur but it doesn't replace the Domino as you can't put domino joints in the end of really long planks nor can you take it with you to the work.
