R29302 2-1/4 HP Router Combo Kit Review
The Ridgid R29302 router combo kit is a nice router that can be adjusted from above when mounted on a table and includes LED lights but has a couple of minor problems
I found switching the Ridgid’s motor from base to base much more difficult and awkward than on the other tools because the spindlelock button needs to be engaged. The motor is also much taller than others we tested, which made it less stable when cutting along the edges of stock.
The power switch on the motor was hard to slide on and off, but the wrenches for blade changes were nice. Although the plunge base features comfy handles and smooth action, it had too much play for my taste. On the plus side, the Ridgid is the only tool we tested that uses a fabric carrying case, which I like a lot.
The Ridgid can be adjusted from above when mounted in a table, and it includes LED lights on the underside of the motor, a worthwhile feature. This is a nice router that has only a couple of minor problems.
