Short answer
Milwaukee lists the 5625-20 as no longer available. INCRA lists it for the imperial Mast-R-Lift II (not the metric one), JessEm lists the 5625 for its Mast-R-Lift II, and Kreg and INCRA list it for plates. Its motor diameter is not confirmed: JessEm's chart line is for the 5626, a different model.
