18-Volt OCTANE™ Cordless Brushless Compact Fixed Base Router with 1/4 in. Bit, Round and Square Bases, and Collet Wrench

I got this to serve as a hand-controllable router for wood carving; basically to remove material on relief carvings before more detail work. A full size router is just too much to use on a work desk and this device worked great despite the silly clunky battery on top. The battery life is pretty impressive especially on lower rpm, and the dust collection got near 100% which is a must for working at a desk. It's probably pretty limited on bit size for real woodworking tasks but for my purposes its perfect. I've ran it for a few hours total and found it very easy to control freehand at low to mid RPM range and runtime was probably 30-40 minutes per battery. It can probably do 1/2" passes with a 1/2" straight flute bit before it starts getting overburdened at high RPM but your runtime will be effected to remove that much material.

Pretty disappointed i didn't receive the actual Octane router as listed...Change your listing to reflect what you actually send.

Nothing more to say. Ridgid tools are top quality. Good price

I've been using this router now for over a year and thought I'd give it a review. I make a lot of raised dog bowl feeders and this works great for adding some detail to the project. The only reason I did not give it a five is, I took off the bottom plastic guide to change a bit (lost my wrench). When I went to put it back on, the four holes would not line up. I had to press against it with my thumb to push it over more so the last hole would line up. Lesson learned, don't take the plastic guide piece off.

This is a great router. Easy to operate. Lite weight and compact. So easy to do whatever job you need a compact router to do.

switches are hard to find need better marking

liviano y cómodo..

What a great router to become more well-rounded with. Found this for a cheaper price than big box orange.
