/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I've been deliberating on this all day. My new plan is to pick up a JessEm router lift and build a frame for it out of construction lumber or plywood. The aluminum plate, unlike MDF or ply, is dimensionally stable and won't warp with humidity. It's also plenty long enough for most things I'll be running through it, so there's no need to build an extension table for it.

So, my new question is this: will I outgrow the JessEm router lift? The JessEm lift has five models for different motor diameters. The more expensive JessEm master lift can accommodate a range of diameters. Will I realistically need more than the 2.25 HP that the Bosch 1617evs can provide, or will I be fine not spending another $170 on the master lift?
