So now I'm making a few more raised panel doors and more in the near future so maybe a 3.25HP router would be a nice choice to help facilitate the chore. As some know I build a Norm Abrams styled router table back some time ago that I'm thrilled with and have a Bosch 1617EVS motor mounted in it that seems to work very well. I have a JessEm Rout-R-Lift installed that works great with the 1617EVS motor and really don't want to buy another lift to accommodate a larger router motor. Hence the question, is the above Triton router a good fit in itself to simply get the router and make a new mounting plate for it? Are there many that are happy with it's ability to change bits, change speeds, and adjust the height to justify the additional cost? Interestingly enough the new JessEm Mast-R-Lift II 02120 Router Lift will now fit most all diameter router motors where as when I was setting things up it was one of two, either for the 4.2" or 3.5" so I went with what I had. If I were to do that over........
So yes, I'm looking for some sage advice from those who have experience with both hopefully, using a lift and then the Triton as is table mounted. Pros, cons, and so on.
