Shuutr Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 I'm intrigued. I don't know if I can convince myself to buy it, but I like the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboS1ice Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Wonder how the run time is... you only get 10-15 minutes on the sander on a 2.0, its worth a buy when they clearance them at HD lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffmcmillan Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Looks like a short drywall cutout tool. Ridgid might start outdoing Makita with odd tool releases seeing as their brushless lineup includes: Drill, Impact, Impulse, Miter saw, Circular saw, and Router. Not only that but the miter saw and circular saw use the same blade diameter which is also the same as on their latest brushed circular saw. Ridgid is now the lottery of tools *facepalm* 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pancing Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 I don't really see the need for a cordless router. Hell i didnt even see the need for a cordless sander but for 30$ i bought one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewie17 Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 Concord carpenter just posted a YouTube video on it. Looks pretty sweet. Good run time and great for the job site if you don't do much routing. Low price for what you get.

overanalyze Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 I think as a dedicated round over or bevel edge router this could be very useful to add to a router arsenal. Your most efficient shop and jobsite setups have dedicated routers for common used bits so that you are not wasting time with bit changes and setup time.

Bremon Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 I can see why some would question the need for a cordless router but why not? More manufacturers moving to a complete cordless jobsite or workshop, might as well. Hopefully others follow suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuutr Posted August 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 I may pay the $99. I just got a Bosch colt this year, so I don't Need One, but looks like it'll do what I need which is small furniture finishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 The colt is a great machine, still would be cool to have a cordless option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Framer joe Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 I use it framing everyday...more of a round over or cove cut...especially for my deck company..rounding over 4x4 pt,mahogany,fir, it really works great and lasts all day.....I still have my Ryobi cordless router and 5" orbital sander they were the only company with them at the time....they still run great but the rigid is nicer...

Older thread, I know, but I've used my router quite a bit over the past few days for rounding over edges and especially for scribing letters into wooden signs. All pine so far (I'd never tried this before Saturday), but the router has performed well and is only on the third 4.0 battery. It is easily controllable and the like the deadman switch of sorts...pull it out to start and push it in to stop (meaning if it hits the ground or another surface on the switch side it will stop). Since I'm new to routing I'm sticking to cheap Skil bits in pine. I have some Freud bits and a PC router in a Ryobi table I'll be honing my skills on next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
