which is better for Bosch Router comparing to the Bosch RA1181 router table?
This is just the lift, you still need to either buy or build a table to place it in (wont fit the small Bosch router table). I have one of these lifts and it's a great piece that make precision height adjustment a breeze, it also allows you to change bits without removing the router you just lift it all the way up.
Edit: Went to check out and used the H-n-y extension and it said no codes were found, but it added a pair of free headphones ($10 cheapies "Sony MDREX15AP") to my order.
Did this happen for anyone else?

I have an old Craftsman version of the 1181, it came with a stand so the table was at waist level, it was a good starter table. I ended up taking the aluminum top off the table and bolted a Rockler router table (GRP40098) to the top of it with a plate to fit my Bosch 1617EVS, the fixed base on this router can be attached to the underside of the plate and used as a lift. That is my table solution for stuff I already had, if you want accurate cuts get the table/stand/fence/plate combo $320 from Rockler, put some wheels on it and drop in you router, you can buy the Jessem lift and the Incra LS Positioner fence later if you need more precision.

This isn't compatible with the bigger routers typically used in router tables. I think the max you can fit in this is 2.25hp. still a good price if you're fine with a smaller motor!

I have a Kreg plate in it now with the same size but none of the holes lined up.
