The RIDGID R29302 is a router combo kit built around the R2901 motor with fixed and plunge bases. When the motor is moved into a router lift, the exact motor body and clamp diameter become more important than the fact that the original kit includes two bases.
Quick answer: WoodToolGuide has manufacturer-verified R29302 relationships with the Kreg PRS5000, JessEm Mast-R-Lift II, and JessEm Rout-R-Lift II model 02314. The Rockler Pro Lift is Unverified because its current published fit list does not explicitly include the R29302.

R29302 kit versus R2901 motor
RIDGID’s manual identifies the R29302 as a router with the R2901 motor, R2911 fixed base and R29202 plunge base. This distinction is useful when discussing a router lift: the lift clamps the removable motor rather than the original fixed or plunge base.
However, compatibility documentation from lift manufacturers often refers to the kit as R29302. WoodToolGuide therefore keeps the R29302 model as the user-facing product record while preserving the motor identity in the explanation.
Kreg PRS5000: verified, hole pattern 6
Kreg’s PRS5000 manual explicitly lists Ridgid R29302 with a motor diameter of approximately 3.625 inches. Kreg instructs users to set the clamp blocks to hole pattern 6.
That exact setup instruction makes this a strong verified relationship. It also demonstrates why generic “3.5-inch class” descriptions can be misleading: 3.625 inches has its own Kreg clamp-block configuration.
JessEm Mast-R-Lift II: verified
JessEm includes RIDGID R29302 in the Mast-R-Lift II compatible-router list. No adapter or modification requirement is stated on the reviewed page, so WoodToolGuide records it as Manufacturer Verified.
JessEm Rout-R-Lift II: use model 02314
JessEm offers several Rout-R-Lift II variants, and 02314 is the version specified for RIDGID 29302 at approximately 3.625-inch motor diameter. Buying a different Rout-R-Lift II variant simply because the plate looks identical would be a mistake; the clamping configuration differs by version.
Rockler Pro Lift: currently Unverified
Rockler’s published Pro Lift fit list names 4.2-inch Porter-Cable motors for direct clamping and selected 3.5-inch Bosch, DeWalt and Porter-Cable routers with its adapter collar. It does not explicitly name the R29302.
The R29302’s 3.625-inch documented diameter sits outside the simple named groups on that page. Rather than infer compatibility from the collar’s expansion range, WoodToolGuide leaves this relationship Unverified.
Can the R29302 be mounted to a router table without a lift?
RIDGID’s operator documentation includes router-table attachment instructions for the original router system. A router lift is therefore not the only way to table-mount the tool. A lift is a separate convenience and precision choice, usually aimed at easier height adjustment, bit changes and motor removal.
Buying checklist for an R29302 lift
- Confirm you have the R29302/R2901 motor family described in the manufacturer manual.
- For Kreg PRS5000, use hole pattern 6.
- For JessEm Rout-R-Lift II, choose model 02314.
- Do not treat the Rockler Pro Lift as verified unless current Rockler documentation explicitly supports the R29302.
- Check router-lift plate dimensions against your table opening before ordering.
Bottom line
The RIDGID R29302 has three clearly documented lift choices in the current WoodToolGuide dataset: Kreg PRS5000, JessEm Mast-R-Lift II and JessEm Rout-R-Lift II 02314. Rockler Pro Lift remains Unverified because the manufacturer’s published fit list does not explicitly name this router.
