Also listed as Rockler router table, Bench Dog router table, Bench Dog ProMAX

Short answer

INCRA says its standard Mast-R-Lift II versions are not compatible with Rockler or Bench Dog tables, and that a special 8-1/4 x 11-3/4 in version is sold exclusively through Rockler. JessEm sells a Mast-R-Lift II (02121) with an 8-1/4 x 11-3/4 in plate but gives no table list. Rockler's own plate, ring and table figures are not confirmed.
