Brett, it shouldn't be rocket science to switch it in a router lift. Make a slide to into the rails out of something like those white bread boards are made from, embed the necessary wiring in it to contact the rails and the other end of the wires goes to a switch. Did I miss anything? Has the tent been raised again? I have the 1300 ACE which IIRC is no longer made and it is a really nice thing. It has the same micrometer style adjuster as the 1600. Buy it in the UK and you get both bases and all the normal accessories unlike in Australia.

Is there any reason why it wouldn't fit this: Mast-R-Lift II

This made me interested (in their blurb):
Many of our customers have more than one fixed base router, so we wanted this new lift to fit as many of the fixed based routers currently for sale on the market. Now, you can use the new Mast-R-Lift II with more than just one dedicated router. The new Mast-R-Lift II fits every fixed base router we could find on the market right out of the box.
I'm following this thread carefully.
What a ridiculous scenario that Bosch, or someone, don't make a goddam 240v motor-only router. Lunacy.
What do the CNC lads do?

Ahhhh those crazy Germans. Seems it's not just a switch. Looks like it's a small resistive network that drives it. Suppose it's a safety thing to make absolutely sure it's not gonna start unless it's in the base.
2 options as far as I can see. Relocate that little switch board into the main part of the router and short the switch out which would involve cannibalising the base. Suppose instead of shorting the switch out you could put a toggle on the router body as well.
Or build the resistive network from scratch so you could still use the base.
Lemme have the weekend to think about this.

A two bob toggle switch won't work it seems.

Nope, but a 2 bob toggle switch and about 5c worth or resistors probably will.

I just found this supplier and the price is unbelievable
http://www.tools-top.com/products/Bo...etCurrencyId=7
and freight to Oz under $A130.
Just emailed to check if it is 240v and if fence is included.
If it is then I think I will pull the trigger on this one!!!

Yes, good price, but the freight is a gouge actually - it's only coming from Indonesia. Freight from the USA would be MUCH less than that ('cept their voltage is wrong).
You also want to make sure (somehow) it's not a knock off - there was a mob in Indo selling festool knockoffs for crazy cheap prices.

I agree that I need to make sure it is genuine but the fact that they sell a number of major brands makes me think they are OK.
Even with freight its still a good deal in NZ as the price here is just shy of $NZ700.
No rush as I need to check things further first
Later -I just checked and it seems the site is a scam ...stay away

Lucky one
I just wanted to share how lucky I am. Picked up the router yesterday and guess what, the guide was included. Probably it was some kind of promotion by Bosch Australia. And again, I am lucky enough to have a friend who lives in US, so I'm planning to buy the second base on Amazon, get it shipped to my friend's address and he will get it posted to me. For some strange reason that Amazon seller does not post to Australia.
Router itself is absolutely awesome, I always like tools that when you hold them, you like to use that tool straight away. That router is one of thous tools. So far I'm very happy. Beats Makita ones with hands down

It's not suitable for a router lift
Hi Guys, first ever post here.
I saw this router in Carbatec the other day and thought awesome! I'll be able to get a Jessem Master lift and rip the motor out and have a table option all in one package!
THE MOTOR NEEDS TO BE IN EITHER THE FIXED OR PLUNGE BASE OTHERWISE IT WON'T TURN ON!
It has an electrical safety mechanism that only allow's the tool to operate once it's in contact with the base.
Like some of you have said, so near yet so far!
Regards
Geoff
