Thanks. That convinced me to buy one for mortising door hinges and doing quick chamfers and roundovers on other projects.

Got this router for free with a purchase of a 2Pack, 4ah batteries for $100. I have a corded router so not sure if this is a good tool or not. Seems to work well for you. Should be worth $50? maybe

I have the old blue version from the NiCad days (P600) which still works fine for quick flush cuts or rounded corners, but I was considering getting this newer model. The micro-adjustment, rounded bed, and smoother detaching shroud are all quality of life improvements to be sure, but the one missed opportunity that would sell me on it instantly, did they finally put on-board storage for the wrench?

Any issues out of the lg washer u did a review on?

No brushless model and only 2 tiny vents for a plastic encased brushed motor....thats a No Bueno for me. That thing is gonna burn to death. I'm gonna stick to team yellow i think. C'mon Ryobi, chuck a metal casing on there and add & $20 more to price. I would rather pay a tiny bit extra for the better thermals, especially on a brushed

ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS route counter-clockwise on the exterior of a work piece! ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS route clockwise on interior of a work piece! Very dangerous to do it any other way.

This router is a steaming pile of hot garbage! And this comes from someone who has an entire tool set of Ryobi stuff. My other Ryobi tools I love, but after having this router for only a year and using it less than a handful of times, it started to fail. And by fail I mean it would suddenly plunge deeper in a cut. So I went back to the handbook and made sure I was setting everything correctly, and I was. What I realized was the pertinent piece that travels up and down the depth shaft is plastic. It needs to be metal. This is what is preventing mine from not having this failure. I know these are cheap and this might prohibit Ryobi from making this component metal, but it there ever was a component on this router that needs to be metal in order to have it work properly, this is that one. I'm currently look for a replacement router OUTSIDE the Ryobi family.
