Short answer
JessEm's Mast-R-Lift II manual puts the DeWalt 610 and 618 in its 3.5 in group at clamp setting F4; JessEm's product page adds the 616. JessEm, INCRA, Kreg, Woodpeckers and Bosch each list some of these models, in their own wording. The DeWalt 625 is a different router; Kreg's Q&A says it will not work in the PRS5000.
