A lift device for a power tool comprising:

• a plate having an upper surface and a tool aperture extending from the upper surface through the plate;
• and
• a carriage assembly secured to the plate, the carriage assembly including
• a securement mechanism disposed below the plate, the securement mechanism being selectively adjustable for interchangeably securing a plurality of power tools of different cross-sectional dimensions to the carriage assembly below the tool aperture, and
• a drive assembly for selectively moving the securement mechanism upward and downward relative to the plate to adjust a vertical position of a power tool relative to the tool aperture when the power tool is secured to the carriage assembly.
