Greetings.

I am looking for a 3 HP 1/2 inch shank router for hand and router table work.

Does anyone have any experience with the RYOBI RE600 Router???????


Would appreciate any feedback.

Bob


My neighbor mentioned to me, just yesterday, that he wanted to start selling his tools and the first one he mentioned was an almost new Ryobi RE 600 router. I said I would list it on ebay for him and was told to do so. So, here is an almost new one, in the box, for sale. If interested I will try to get a price for you or you cam make an offer I will give him.

I've had one for years.Works great in a table, but a little heavy for
hand held use. I use my DeWalt for that.

If you really need all that power and can find one for a good price, I
think you'll like it.

You do realize you can't get 3hp from a 115V circuit :-).

I also have one in a table (lift). I must have bought it in the '80s
but it works well. I does have a soft start that helps but you're
right, it's *much* too heavy for me to feel safe moosing it around.

For a table, yes. I'd think long and hard before buying a beast like
that for hand work. I don't see much point in the large Festool,
either (but don't tell Leon).

You mean my Craftsman shop vac isn't 5HP? Really? It says so right on
the label. They can't lie about things like that, can they? ;-)

What 746 * 5 is about 3720 watts - 35 amps ? Need a 40 amp breaker at
least. Martin
