Modify a Bosch POF 1200 - Remove the legs and Base

Those are roll pins that hold the base on, you'll need some kind of punch to get them out.
I haven't taken apart my Bosch pof1400, but i did take the plunge rods and base off another plunge router with the idea of mounting it in a router lift to get better depth of cut in a table.
Still haven't got round to finishing that project.
The trouble you'll have with the Bosch is it's odd body shape. It will be difficult to mount in any kind of life.
You can put it in a table without removing anything. If you attach it to an insert plate that's around 6mm thick and rigid (aluminium or phenolic), you will still have ok depth of cut. If the insert plate is screwed to the table top then you can just use a scissor jack under the router as a lift.

Thanks for that quick reply. I was trying to modify it so that I could do table top bit changes etc. Maybe I am asking too much of this machine!!

Colm, you do not need a lift. It is faster to pop the router out of the table for bit changes and adjustments. "Simple is better."

I'm new this is my first post. I am a retired teacher of 67 years old. The woodcraft is my biggest hobby. I like this site because it is dedicated to a device as versatile as the router. I have a Bosch POF 1200 and would like to adapt it to a table. My question is whether or not to use lift, disarm my router or not and also use a scissor jack or not. But after reading you and I have formed my opinion: I prefer my Bosch intact and I put a scissor jack. I think it's the best solution. Or not?
