Two years ago I purchased a Triton 3-1/4 HP router and love it. It was designed for a router table with the lift built into the router. It is actually a plunge router and comes with a handle so that when the router is installed in a table, the handle is used to adjust the height of the bit - just like a lift. You do have to lock the plunge when you get the bit adjusted so it doesn't drift. The cooling air for the motor goes towards the bit so dust extraction actually helps motor cooling. Keep in mind this router replaced a Freud 3-1/4 HP router, so this was a huge step up.
I have an MLCS router table top wilth the fence and dust extraction - nothing special but it works for now. It is mounted on a cabinet that my uncle made and I ended up with it. Its a decent cabinet - something I couldn't find the time to make.
Thank you,
