I have not personally seen the ra1165 in person. From what I can see, it looks similar to a standard fixed base but with the above the table. I had explored the option of buying one till I found a regular base with the extension knob that goes vertically along the motor on ebay for about $30. It is a little of a pain to reach under the table for fine adjustments, but I get along.
