1: The table comes well packaged as most Ryobi tools do.
2: The directions are very simple. Setup is very easy.
3: It is compatible with almost any common name router out there.
4: The insert plate is well marked for correct router mounting.
5: As with most Ryobi tools, there is alot of plastic. But it is in the
right places on this table.
6: The table and leg assembly is rugged and stable.
7: The gaurd is ok, but I had to more force than I like while feeding stock to the bit. I will not be using it.
8: The table size is nice. ( 512 square inches)
9: My insert plate came out of the box with cracks. I will call Ryobi for a new one.
I routed about 20 feet of red oak last night after installing my PC 694VK router. I am more than pleased with the over all setup and
I really like how easy it is to adjust the fence. This is alot of router table for the money. I could have spent twice as much and got less.
The tool is a winner.

I tried to attach some pics of the table, but they would not show up in the post during the upload.
I picked one of these up this weekend. I wanted to replace the shop made router table top I had constructed a couple of years ago. For $99 the Ryobi A25Rt02 had a lot to offer. I didn't use the legs or switch in my set up. I attached the table top to my shop made router table. I used a 3 screws to attach the Ryobi top to my old 3/4" MDF top after I had cut a hole in the old top to match the Ryobi router plate. I also had to remove the handles to the Hitachi m12vc fixed router base I use in my router table, but that is no problem just 2 screws. The right had section of fence was set back about 1/32" but shimed out with no problem to make it perfect. I like the jointer adjustment, no more shimming. The only neg I will give is in the miters lot, I wished that it was a T-track instead of just a channel and also wished that the slot was 3/8"x3/4" which is the industery standard instead of the Ryobi slot of 1/4"x3/4".
All in all a great deal for $99.00
