Router lift for "Metabo" plunge router ?

Yes

and if so,

Metabo

I've not see the routers in the US though.

at one time I had a drill motor made by metabo and sold with a porter cable label on it. I don't know if metabo routers are available in the US under any name- I don't recall ever seeing one. other metabo tools are sold with the metabo label on them, so it might be available here, just not commonly seen. it might be though that one of the routers we're used to seeing with some other label on it is actually a metabo. can you post a link to a picture or some information about the router you have? someone over here might recognize it.

a quick search- is one of these it?

if so I don't recognize it., but then I haven't been shopping for new routers recently....

I'm not sure about this but I swear I've seen something suggesting they made some stuff for Ridgid. I'm about 60% sure about this.

It's the one in the first link (except I seem to remember it as 1800W model and not 1200. I'm on vacation at the moment so I can't check. Visually identical to the OFE1229 though ...

I guessed they may not be available.

Are there 'universal' lift plates available? Or as close to universal as can be, I guess with a selection of pre-drilles mounting holes, some of which ought to be usable. Are router base plates maybe standardised somehow?
