Most helpful customer reviews 13 of 13 people found the following review helpful. Excellent Router By Tony D. Baker This is an excellent router set. Do not hesitate to buy it. I prefer Porter Cable power tools, and agonized over this choice but three things tipped the scales for Rigid. 1) Value. You get (slightly) more capability and accessories for less money. 2) Price. Substantially cheaper than the comparable P-C combo model. 3) Warranty. Unmatched in the industry. Period. Sorry Amazon - got mine locally at the Big Box store for a lot less. Packing, fit, finish, accessories - all excellent. The base plate on the plunge accessory is sized to take P-C bushing guides. It is obvious a good deal of attention to detail was used in the design, e.g. functionality/placement of switches, work lights, lock levers, even a lighted power cord. If there was one thing I would improve (and finding this one thing was hard) I would say the comparable Porter Cable router combo has a "slightly" better designed dust collection system. Since I normally let the chips fly and have the teenage sons sweep the shop when I'm done, this shortcoming is insignificant to me. Outstanding tool. 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Great fit and finish, but it died By Frederic A. Wintersteen Great fit and finish, and controls, could use a little better dust collection. takes common bases, LED to illuminate work area, taller than one other brand, good feeling switch and speed control. The chuck has machine-tool quality collet! Reasonably quiet with soft start. Might be nice to have a saw type grip with trigger, but this is my first router You would have to use one to see. Bad news is that it died after after a few hours light use over 87 days, the good news is that I can return it and get another with a new warranty (90 days)at any HD store. Also has lifetime warranty for repair if you send in the UPC code, partno, and copy of receipt to register within 90 days. I'm getting another Ridgid as a replacement. Update: Home Depot has started carrying Ridgid's 2 hp "heavy Duty" as a replacement even though the 2 1/4 HP is still available from Ridgid. Although the 2 hp version has a shorter motor and center of gravity, it has lost its top quality collet in favor of a one-slot one similar to the palm router ones. I have tried two similar routers (Dewalt and Porter Cable) and none had the combination of quality, router table designed controls, smoothness and quietness of the R29302 Ridgid. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. This IS the ORIGINAL R2930 Combo Set (Disregard Others' Warnings) By Andrew J. Thomas I ordered from Amazon and on Jan 12th 2010 got the original R2930 router set with the 12amp 2 and 1/4 HP motor and the fixed and plunge bases. Amazon apparently has a back stock of these. If you're worried about what you're getting from them - call or email Amazon to find out if they have the real R2930 kit or have switched over to the R29302 like other stores have. If you have your heart set on the R2930 - get it while its hot! Please don't post reviews warning people about products you haven't bought! That doesn't do anyone any good. That being said - the warnings others have posted about the new router are valid - it is less powered (slightly) and has only the 1/2" collet with the 1/4" adapter rather than both collets. Other than that I would imagine it is the same quality product. See all 14 customer reviews...
