I have been wanting a router table for a while, and decided to pull the trigger on the Ryobi A25RT02 intermediate model. I looked at many more expensive tables online, and at a few stores here locally. I have always had a "love" & "hate" relationship with Ryobi tools, so I knew what I was getting into before buying the table. Here is what I have discovered about the setup so far:
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.
