No Lift Systems To Fit Bosch 1619EVS 3.25HP Router?

I wish to purchase Incra 25" LS Super System, WonderFence, Miter, 32"x53" table w/stand and WoodPeckers or Jessem's hi-end Lift system for my Bosch 1619EVS 3.25HP Plunge Router -- I can't locate any quality lift system for the Model 1619 router even though they have them for the smaller Bosch 1617/1618 models. They do offer a flat plate for my Bosch 1619EVS, but no lift system adapters to fit my router.

Does anyone have experience with this router and lift systems who may offer some advice? Recommendations appreciated. I invested weeks determining the Incra LS Super System & Woodpecker Lift would be Ideal Total System For Me. My 1st post as a new member. Thank you, Dennis :confused:

Dennis sorry I am unable to assist with your question above.Welcome to the forum there are many here who can assist you getting what you want to do with a router. Just a reminder there is more that can be achieved when the router is held in the plunge mode check out the material below.

Dennis,

Lifts are generally designed for fixed-base routers or where the motor is removable from the base. To accomplish what you're looking for, try Router Raizer

If that approach is not to your liking, the 1619EVS makes a heckuva good handheld backup to a second router mounted in a lift. Others here use the 1617EVSPK (removable motor) with a conventional lift, although the fixed base for that 2-base kit (I believe) has through-the-table height adjustment, so you may just need a mounting plate with the kit.

One of you with using this router in a table, please respond! :)

Apologies for dredging up something 14 years old, but...

I was given a Bosch 1619EVS. I ordered a Jessem router lift which they said could be used for this router. In essence, the mounting is a blank template and you need to do your own drilling.

However, I am not positive what this looks like for the Bosch 1619EVS. It seems like the plunge handles and springs will need to come off. At that point in time, I'm questioning what the rest of the router will look like and what will be left to work with for mounting.

I am somewhat new to woodworking, but can generally solve things. However, I don't want to rip apart the plunge router only to find that it doesn't work in this lift.
