I have a bosch 1617 router and a bosch table. Yesterday while making an adjustment the lift stopped working. On further inspection, the lift adjustment rod had broken. My question is can I use another brand of lift on my bosch table. The current setup is a pain to fine tune and i have to check and recheck after a few cuts. I have been looking at the jessEm lift but do not want to modify my table. Thank you for your time. Rick

I have a 1617 and a 1617evs
The 1617 is in a Jessem lift plate that fits my woodpecker table exactly.
I have no problems and enjoy the Jessem lift a lot.
I suppose the issue is if Jessem sells a insert plate that fits your table. insert hole.
Not having to lock the position after adjusting is a great benefit. With the old Bosch base, locking the base would always shift the height a tiny bit.
With that and the easy top access (good for old guys who don't like to bend) and the 1/16th inch per turn it is easy to dial in an exact change.
1 turn = 1/16th inch = 0.064"
1/2 turn = 1/32 = 0.032"
1/4 turn = 1/64th = 0.016"
1/8 turn = 1/128th in = 0.008"

If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.
