Mast-R Lift II takes larger routers, I believe.

They are all about the same precision. But since they all use a similar screw style lift control, the only precision that matters is your ability to precisely measure the bit height.

If you are going get the Mast-R Lift II, buy the Incra version. Better support and it comes with the Magna Lock plates that don't require a special tool. Also, you can get the clean sweep plates for much better dust collection.

Hello Scott.

About 4 months ago I acquired a Woodpeckers PRL V2 lift. I must say it is quite the sweet lift. Raises and lowers like a dream and precisely adjustable. It is probably the priciest lift on the market, but the shock only lasts until you first use it.

I bought mine with the Porter Cable 7518 motor.

Also consider getting a Triton TRA001 3.5hp router. It has a built in lift,is about $280, about the cost of a lift. I had a Rockler lift, but didn't like it much. It is a bit heavy for hand held use, at least to my, but it excels in the table. It has power to spare.
