I have been wanting to find a way to adjust the height on my Incra Mast R Lift II from under the table. In researching different options I decided to try this. I purchased a Craftsman 9 in. Flex Shaft from Sears ($10.99) and adapted it to the router lift. I used parts from Dewalt 6 inch bit extension as a shaft. A 1/4 inch hole was drilled into the threaded height adjustment rod for the hex extension. I drilled and tapped a 8/32 set screw in the threaded height adjustment rod to secure the hex extension shaft.
This method allows easy access to maintenance and speed control on the router.
I hope these pictures explain everything.
Thanks for looking in.
