A search for “JessEm router lift 2 compatibility” can return more than one product family. Mast-R-Lift II and Rout-R-Lift II are not interchangeable names, and the current Rout-R-Lift 3.5XT is another specific product. Identify the lift before using any motor list.

JessEm Rout-R-Lift 3.5XT
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.
Check on AmazonMast-R-Lift II: a named-model list
JessEm's Mast-R-Lift II product page lists supported motors including Porter-Cable 7518, 690 and 890; Bosch 1617 and 1618; and DeWalt DW610, DW616 and DW618. It also names other models from several brands. Use the complete current list and supplied setup instructions for your own motor rather than treating these examples as the entire range.
One detail deserves direct confirmation: the current product page lists Milwaukee 5625, while the linked manual chart uses 5626. We do not silently resolve that discrepancy by assuming either number means the other. Owners of those motors should obtain JessEm's exact mounting guidance.
Rout-R-Lift 3.5XT: keep the collar distinction
The 3.5XT page lists supported 3½-inch motors, including Bosch 1617/1618, Porter-Cable 690/890 and DeWalt DW610/616/618. It separately describes an optional adjustable collar for Makita 1101 and Hitachi M12VC/KM12VC models.
That separate collar requirement matters. A statement that the lift supports a motor does not always mean the bare carriage accepts it without another specified component. Confirm what the offered package includes and how the manufacturer says the collar is obtained and used.
Older Rout-R-Lift II: use its own identifier
The older Rout-R-Lift II manual covers variants 02310 through 02314. We have not established a complete motor-per-variant chart from that document. Consequently, we do not transfer the 3.5XT list to every older lift with a similar name.
For a used lift, request a clear identification photograph before paying. The used-lift checklist explains how missing model information affects the purchase.
Prestige: a different mounting method
The Rout-R-Lift Prestige supports specified plunge routers through their bases. It explicitly does not provide above-table bit changes. That makes it a different solution from choosing a cylindrical motor for a clamp-style lift. See plunge-router mounting options for that distinction.
After finding your family and revision, confirm the plate version and table support separately. Our JessEm family comparison helps with selection; the product's current manual remains the authority for assembly. A familiar brand name is useful for finding documentation, but it cannot replace the identifying number.
When purchasing a bundle, request the contents for that offer specifically. Current product pages and older manuals can differ in the number of supplied rings; neither proves what a secondhand seller has retained.
