I have an old JessEm router lift and table top that I'd like to mount on a shop-made table but I can't figure out how to do it with the supplied hardware. I wrote to JessEm and asked for help, and they basically replied "F/U, we don't help people who don't buy our table." Is anyone familiar
with this table top and can offer advice on how to mount it?
Thanks...

what do you mean by "table top". I am confused because you want to
mount it to a table. Do you mean a router table insert? Router
installs in a table are pretty straightforward. What hardware are you talking about? Can you post a picture?

I perceive the problem to be, Mr. Clarke, that I don't want to drill holes
in the top of the table top...and there's no need to be snarky.

"screw it down" can also mean "screw it up", as in up from the bottom
like I suggested earlier.
Build your cabinet, install corner braces and screw up through the bottom
of the braces into the JessEm.

I think that there a few of us that are confused by what the problem is. I'm not
being snarky. Perhaps if you explained exactly why you are having trouble >determining how to attach the top, we could be more specific with our suggestions.

That's exactly what I did and it worked very well. It doesn't look
bad at all.
Pocket holes in the cabinet and screw up into the table would work
too.
"screw it down" can also mean "screw it up", as in up from the bottom
like I suggested earlier.
"Screw it up" is certainly a possibility. There's no reason to
over-think this.
