I was able to mount a 1400 to a router table plate and used the lifting mechanism from the the CMS table - this was given to me by a Festool dealer when they were cleaning out their back of house. I had to mount the lifting mechanism to a short piece of 100mm x 50mm aluminium hollow section, which was then bolted to the plate. It worked fine, but I got sick of adjusting the router height from under the table, and I much prefer the 1400 as a hand held router. Ended up getting a lift/motor combo, much happier with that.
That would be ideal to get Festool's lift mechanism and adapt it to a standard router table insert plate. haven't seen it on their website though.
No, you can't buy it unfortunately. I was able to get the height adjusting part of it only. It was from a damaged display unit at my local supplier. The CMS doesn't have a traditional plate and, from memory, there wouldn't be a way to integrate it into a 'normal' router table design.
