i have a Jessem router lift and the plate came with only one twist-loc insert and i want to buy a set but im wondering if the woodpecker twist lock rings will fit it?

I looked at that same picture and they sure looked like they should fit. I was going to order a set and contacted Woodpecker first and they told me they did not fit.

You can get the blank ones from Jessem or the predrilled ones.

I agree, that is why I want them too.

Not to mention the price. I recently bought a Jessum Routr-lift II for about $120. They want 25% of the cost of the lift for the set of four rings.

I have a set of woodpecker plates and they do NOT fit in the Jessem router lift, at least not the lift that I have. Very sad!

I bought the set of Jessem insert plates from Amazon.com. They were less expensive than ordering directly from Jessem.

Your desires are not misplaced. I received the full aluminum set for my Woodpecker lift as a gift and thought it was a luxury item . . . .wrong. Having a wide variety of sizes is a safety issue as much as anything. Pick up some blank inserts and drill your own, its worth the effort, you'll find you use them more than you'd think ;-)

I did the same, but they have a long lead time before delivery. I do have a set of plates that I will drill myself as needed, however.
