How do I match a stand alone motor with a stand alone table. Both different brands.
Why parameters should I consider?

If you have speed control than it doesn't have to to be exact. A few percentage off is Ok.

I recently bought a VPI stand alone stainless steel motor for my "stand alone" table. Never did any calculations and it worked perfectly. I of course added their SDS for even better speed accuracy/stability but it sounded wonderful without. (I had another stand alone motor that had different pulley size and it worked too). Maybe I just got lucky?
