Hello,
With the recent temporary forum downtime, I could not see whether there were any replies to my latest post, so I’ll post it again. Please forgive me if you’ve already replied and I didn’t get to see the reply.
My posting was about the Hitachi M12V 3 ¼ HP plunge router. I have a Bosch RA1171 router table, and I’d been trying to decide on the best router for it. I’d been considering the fixed base on the Bosch 1617EVSPK for the table, but I’ve also been interested in considering more powerful routers.
From Hitachi CS, I found that the M12V won’t fit the mounting plate on my RA1171 table. I know that I could drill new holes in the plate, but I’d rather not have to do that.
Since I posted, I’ve done some research on the Bosch 1619EVS 3 ¼ HP plunge router, and based on what Bosch CS told me, I’m becoming very interested in it. Bosch told me that the 1619EVS has a “defeat” mechanism that enables it to be used in a router table without removing the springs.
Has anyone had any experience with the 1619EVS, and would this be a good router for a table?
Louis
