Review on Ultimate Precision and Power: Ryobi R1631K Corded Router Unveiled! by Carta Gutierrez

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not worth the hassle! suitable for milling cutter

item bought, unpacked and finally used. It looked decent so after making sure all blocking features were disabled I decided to plug it in. It turned out that the switch was defective, actually both switch positions were "on". (Apparently they mislabeled the off-side.) The motor was stuck, like my gut after an evening of cheese quesadillas at our house. Then the moment we plugged it in (remember the switch was marked "off" but it should have had two "on" marks on it), it started humming like a Catholic choirboy, but he lacked full movement. The device immediately threw smoke ashore, as did my college roommate on 4/20. Overall it looked very nice so it will make great paper. I thought the price was too good to be true, but I took the risk anyway. I will not repeat this mistake again. I hope you all have better luck than me.

Pros
  • edge and grooving cutter
Cons
  • only available in white
