Well I finally bought a 3.25 HP Router - A Bosch 1619EVS
Plan was to use my Bosch 1617 hand held and put the power in the table. Problem is the big unit is BIG. I built a router table and cut the opening to fit the generic Rockler aluminum plate. Worked great for the 2-1/4 HP Bosch.
I tried to slide the new Router in the hole but it would not go without a fight.
So the question is, are the handles removable ? They stick out quite a ways from the motor body.
Thanks for some ideas.
