@Torps,
Welcome. I second Steve's advice. Note that with the current model of Makita RP2301FC, there is an above-table height-adjust feature, so no lift is required. The height adjust is a bit slow, but you can always speed it up by using a suitable drive key in a cordless drill to make large changes, then use an allen wrench or similar to sneak up to the exact height.
Another well-esteemed large router, which also dose not need a lift, is the Antipodean-origin Triton 3 1/2 HP beast, but I understand that with multiple changes of ownership, support is not what it used to be. I missed out on one last Black Friday, but got a very good deal on the Makita, so not complaining. The Triton has some very nifty features, some of which are redundant in table-mounted mode. Others are great (self-locking shaft when changing bits in-table), but their absence is not life-altering.
BTW, none of these is cordless, only some trim routers are commonly cordless, although a member recently mentioned a 2 HP 1/2 collet model. Have not come across it yet.
Apart from safety glasses, remember ear protectors and respiration protection.
