Router lift overdriven

The router lifts were swapped out today. Someone overdrove the main router lift, in the stationary table. Once again, Hulking out on knobs, levers, etc., has damaged a piece of equipment, causing downtime and making equipment unavailable. Luckily, we have the same lift in the auxiliary table, but now that table is offline.

Please use care when operating equipment. After looking our for your fingers and eyes, please look out after the equipment, and don’t needlessly overtighten knobs or levers. In almost all cases, snug is fine. It’s not a strength contest.
