The Bosch "23" will not work in any lift, it will only work in its own bases because of the external 5 volt power bus. See the bump out in the photo where the Bosch name is? You can see the bus in the fixed base. No need for a lift with this router, it has a built in above the table adjuster... the same as the later 1617 bases. If you want to use Bosch in an after market lift the 1617EVS is your only option.
