A practical order for the three checks

Begin with the compatibility finder if you already own a router. Select the exact motor model to see the matches present in our source records. An absent model remains unconfirmed; the tool does not establish that no compatible lift exists. Open the linked documentation before making a purchase decision.

Next, use the plate checker with measurements from your table and the proposed lift. Motor fit and plate fit are independent. Enter the finished recess dimensions, rather than the tabletop's outside size, and keep every value in the same unit. The result highlights dimensional differences but cannot approve corners, mounting hardware or underside clearance.

Finally, enter current costs into the budget tool. Include required adapters, a replacement top and dust fittings where the planned installation needs them. Count bundled parts once and leave equipment you already own at zero if you intend to reuse it. Comparing two complete configurations is more useful than comparing their lift prices alone. These tools support a shortlist; the current equipment manuals remain the reference for installation and operation.
