Router LiftGET YOUR SETUP DIALED IN.SHOP BY TYPE
Hand-cranked height control, without a powered drive.
A manual lift gives you direct control over depth from above the table. Compare the locking arrangement, travel per turn and access to the collet. The plate and motor fit still come first; a finer dial cannot make an incompatible assembly work.

A manual lift package pairing a 9-1/4 by 11-3/4-inch plate with three magnetic insert rings. The ring system makes this worth comparing when frequent opening changes are part of your workflow.

The 3.5XT targets the 3-1/2-inch motor class rather than every router in the shop. It is a focused option for buyers who have already identified their removable motor.

O'SKOOL
O'SKOOL's RTS05 is an aluminum-plate lift listed for 3-1/2-inch router motors. Its fit claim concerns the motor, so the table opening still needs a separate check.

Kreg
The PRS5000 offers a documented route for matching a lift to an existing router through Kreg's compatibility chart. Start with that chart before choosing a motor or planning the table opening.

O'SKOOL
This O'SKOOL listing specifically names Bosch RA1181 and RA1171 tables. That table-specific version should not be confused with the standard O'SKOOL plate sold for other openings.

JessEm
A Mast-R-Lift II 02120 bundle with a ten-piece insert ring kit and caddy. The extra rings may reduce separate accessory shopping, provided the supplied kit matches your intended cutters.

MUWOOD
MUWOOD offers this router-table lift as a plate-and-adjustment assembly. The listing title leaves the motor range and plate measurements unstated, making those the first details to obtain.

O'SKOOL
This O'SKOOL configuration is listed for 4.2-inch router motors. It serves a different motor class from the brand's 3-1/2-inch lifts and needs its own fit check.

The 02121 version carries an 8-1/4 by 11-3/4-inch plate. That narrower width is a meaningful distinction from the 02120 package when replacing an existing table insert.

Woodpeckers
Quicklift combines a rapid height-change feature with crank-operated fine adjustment. This particular listing specifies the 4.2-inch motor version, which matters more than the shared Quicklift name.

INCRA
The Mast-R-Lift-II-R is the Rockler-table version of INCRA's lift. Buyers comparing INCRA listings should identify this suffix before assuming the standard plate will fit.

Rockler
A Rockler lift kit with a listed 8-1/4 by 11-3/4-inch aluminum plate. It is a candidate for narrower table openings, subject to the remaining geometry and motor checks.

O'SKOOL
This bundle adds an automatic vacuum switch to an O'SKOOL lift for 3-1/2-inch motors. It is useful to compare as a package when dust-control switching is also missing from the setup.

O'SKOOL
This package combines an O'SKOOL lift for 3-1/2-inch motors with a steel stand and levelers. It is aimed at a broader station build, rather than a simple insert replacement.

SawStop
SawStop's RT-LFT uses a four-post lift arrangement with a locking feature. Its suitability depends on the router motor and table opening, even when the surrounding equipment is SawStop-branded.

Rockler
This Pro Lift listing identifies the large-plate configuration. It should be compared with other Pro Lift versions using the actual plate measurements instead of the family name alone.

SpeTool
This SpeTool package pairs a router lift with the brand's table-lift dust hood. The listed 2.56–4.21-inch motor range still needs to be checked against the actual motor and supplied adapters.
