The Kreg PRS5000 Precision Router Lift uses an adjustable clamping system for several router-motor diameters. The safest way to choose a router is to match the exact model to Kreg’s published compatibility information rather than assume that a similar-looking motor will fit.

What the clamp patterns mean
Kreg’s PRS5000 manual assigns clamp-block hole patterns to specific router families and motor diameters. Porter-Cable 7518 uses pattern 1, Hitachi M12VC/KM12VC pattern 3, Milwaukee 5615/5616/5619 pattern 4, the common 3.5-inch Porter-Cable/Bosch/DeWalt group pattern 5, RIDGID R29302 pattern 6, Felisatti RF62 pattern 7 and Makita 1101 pattern 8.
A note about Milwaukee 5625
Do not treat the Milwaukee 5625 as verified for the PRS5000 merely because another Milwaukee model appears in Kreg’s chart. Kreg’s manual specifically names the 5626. Until an authoritative source confirms the 5625, WoodToolGuide keeps it Unverified.
Check before buying
Model numbers matter. Confirm the label on the router motor, then compare it with the lift manufacturer’s current documentation. Compatibility can also depend on the motor being removable from its handheld base.
Useful next step: use the WoodToolGuide Router Lift Compatibility Finder to compare the same router across multiple lifts.
