Hey guys, I am having a bit of trouble making a decision here.
I own a Bosch 1619EVS 3 1/4 HP plunge router that I, up until now, was planning on making my dedicated table router. Woodpecker makes an awesome plunge lift for it that makes it perfect for table routing.
My problem is that the plunge lift itself costs 170 and the wrench for above the table bit changing costs another 20. (though Im sure I could get it cheaper elsewhere), which brings it to a total cost of 210 with shipping.
On the other hand, that new Triton router has all those features built in and costs only 200. But it has less power and a smaller base opening (I think).
If I buy the plate for my 1619, I'll still need another router, but if I buy the router, I'll still need some sort of an insert plate, and I'll also have a humongous router for most hand held work so I'd probably still want another smaller router.
There is really no getting around the amount of money I am going to spend, so I really just don't know what I should do.
Any suggestions?
