Bosch Benchtop Router Table RA1181

Q: can you provide list of routers that fit without modifications?

Here is the list of compatible routers from the owner's manual - it would have been nice to have this when I was shopping:Bosch Models 1613 series, 1617 series (fixed base only), 1619EVS;Craftsman listed as "most Craftsman 1/2" collet routers";DeWalt DW616, DW618 (Fixed base only);Hitachi M12VC;Makita RF1100, RF1101;Milwaukee 5615, 5616;Porter Cable 690 Series, 7529 plunge router and 892-895 series (fixed base only);Ryobi R161, R162, RE170, RE180 PL;Skil 1810, 1815, 1820, 1825.I used this table with my Craftsman and tried to use it with the Makita RF1101. The problem there lay with the Makita design, however, not this table. The router mounted beautifully to the table and bit replacement and cutting depth was a dream from the top, but the motor base would not stay locked in place in an undermount setup due to Makita's deficient lock lever design. (If you're curious about the particulars, please see my review of the Makita RF1101). This was a crying shame IMO, since the Makita is supposed to be a real workhorse, unlike my burned out Craftsman. I have now been using it with the Milwaukee 5616 for the past 3 years and it works satisfactorily.

Q: can a router lift be attached.

Bosch does make a router lift that does fit this table and the plate has a pre-drilled hole for the lifting mechanism(RA1165). You have to have a router that fits correctly into that lifting mechanism. If you get another kind of lift, you simply get it centered and then drill the hole as your lift requires. I would recommend just using another insert and don't mess with this plate if you have to do this. Two reasons, 1) get a clear plate you can see through, this one is aluminum and there is no seeing through it, and 2) get a plate already with a lift that fits this table and you don't have to mess with any drilling - just know the size of plate you need and if it will fit your current or projected router. I don't remember the router motors that will fit the Bosch lift, but it is limited. I do own and use this table but have not upgraded to a lift yet. These are the options available to me.

Q: Would this work with a milwaukee 5616 router

Bosch RA1181 Benchtop Router Table (Tools & Home Improvement)As a previous review mentioned, this fits a bunch of routers, which can be found listed on the Bosch site. To make things easier, here they are:Predrilled for following routers:BOSCH 1617 series*, 1613 series, 1619EVS; Porter Cable 690, 892-895 series*, 7529; Milwaukee: 5615, 5616; Hitachi: M12VC; DeWalt: DW616, DW618*; Makita: RF1100, RF1101; Ryobi: R161K, R162K; Craftsman: Fixed base models with 1/2? collet capacity*Note: Fixed Base Models Only

Q: Can I mount this table to a different base? I want a router table that mounts on a taller stand, rather than a bench top unit.

I'm 5'7" and the pre-made stands I've found are all too tall. I decided to sacrifice an old B&D Workmate 300 and not extend the lower legs. Took the clamps off and drilled 2 holes and enlarged 2 holes. Using a 3/4" piece of plywood in between cut just larger than the Workmate frame. The resulting height is perfect for me. Stable and I can disassemble into small pieces pretty fast if I need to. I used pronged - recessed nuts for the table to plywood bolts and through bolts for the plywood to stand bolts.
