Looking for a Router Lift

[Brodie Brickey]

I picked up a new router table and wanted to install a router lift in it. I have a 3 1/4 HP Bosch 1619EVS router. Does anyone know of a router lift that fits it? The only ones I can find, work with the smaller 2 HP Bosch only.

I know that Woodpeckers offers at least one: http://www.woodpeck.com/plungelift.html

I use a jessem rout-r-lift works good just big. Woodpeck only makes one that fits but it is more like a router raizer and you need to lock and unlock your plunge mechenism.

Check Jessem, their swiss cheese bolt pattern adapter (seriously, its patented under that name) accepts just about every router ever. I got my OLD PRE_BORG Ryobi 3 1/4HP plunge in a router-r-lift from them, and thats one obscure old beast. Their lift supported it. Nice lift too.

I have that Bosch 1619EVS too, got it for father's day last year for when the Ryobi dies, which may be never, so have only used it free hand (nice tool) but I'm pretty sure I checked to make sure it would fit my lift before son and LOML bought it for me.

Brodie,

I am pretty sure you have plenty of advice as to what brand to use. One thing to keep in mind. If you bought a router table from a brand name, keep in mind that the plate hole will vary and most likely will only fit the brand name plates.
For example Rockler's router plates are 8x11 or 9x13
Woodpeckers is 8 1/4 x 11 3/4, or 9 1/4x11 3/4 and so on...
so the opening for the plate becomes the limiting factor as to what you can buy.

Goodluck
