Ryobi P601 One+ 18V Lithium Ion Cordless Fixed Base Trim Router (Battery Not Included Tool Only)

I'm a pretty picky person when it comes to shopping, but this shop makes me happy when I buy, it's a great success of this shop.It's not a coincidence that I praise this shop though. What is it that is both of good quality and at a very cheap price?

I really like this tool, it’s a very easy to use router and has plenty of power! I’ve used it to cut out door hinges, trim sections of a door frame, and will be using it to round edges on some boards. Great value with Ryobi!

A good purchase, well worth the money.

I've put in about 5 hours of actually running time on this router so far. It does use batteries fairly quickly, so you'll want to have at least two spares on hand. I've been very pleased with it, and would certainly buy one again. Easy to handle and great for those little trim jobs where the two handles router is much too cumbersome. I've been using it primarily on pine, giving some detail to the edges to use it as trim. A really great little tool.

Great Router

Great tool to have. I also have a router table with a strong corded router but find myself using this more often due to the portability and convenience. It has plenty of power and is easy to keep steady and level despite the small base plate. The on/off switch is in an awkward location making it hard to start with one hand. The base can drop down slightly once you start cutting despite being locked, resulting in a deeper cut than intended. Pushing down firmly on the base after its locked seems to prevent this from happening.

Great Starter Router

After watching a lot of videos, I believe this is the best priced starter router that is great quality. The build quality is great and the micro adjuster & regular adjuster are smooth (I tightened the little bolt on the adjuster so that it was tighter) Overall-- great palm router and I would suggest it for anyone who wants to start routing.

Great router but not new as advertised

Router does what you need. Would be better if it was actually new. Turns out it was used with light coating of wood dust around the base. Also missing collet wrench. Had to buy a new one.

Great tool, slight improvements required.

The router is great for the price point. It does the job well and has sufficient power for most trim routing applications. My only negative though about this is the handling of the tool, the grips are not in optimal locations and it is quite top heavy. The orientation of this device could use some improvements. With that being said, if you take your time, plan your motion and go slow it works very well.

Not adequate. Never did use it. To small.

I bought this tool because it's one of the few cordless routers out there and because it doesnt cost an arm and a leg. But before I bought it, I bought a couple of 3 quarter inch plywood router bits i was hoping to use on some 3 quarter inch red oak plywood I bought to put a nice edge on it. But it turns out the router takes only a quarter inch stem, or what ever it's called, but the router bits i got are half inch, so the router is to small. Result, the router is to small and is useless.

Phenominal

I bought this a few days ago & have adapted a router table plate to mount this in my current workbench, which incidentally is a kitchen table I picked up out of the garbage . I used it to jointer a few pieces of 3/4 African Mahogany which was only finished 2 sides. In all I slimmed these 6 foot long pieces by about 1/4". This little puppy with the 4Ahr Lithium battery didn't even slow down one bit & I only used 1/4 of the batteries charge to do this. I am very impressed. Which I had come across this before I spent several $100's on another's router. PS, this little router turns at 29,000rpm.

Ryobi tools in general

I must admit although I bought this router, I have not had a chance to use it. But if it is like all my Ryobi tools I will be very happy with it. I have been buying Ryobi for almost 20 years. Just this past week my 18 year old Blue cordless circular saw just quit. All I have ever had to replace were the batteries. After building three decks, and 3 house renovations. I would not hesitate to buy another one.
