  • Our take on the Fixed and Plunge Base Router

    The RIDGID R2901 is a two-base router kit built around a 2 HP, 11-amp motor with variable speed from 10,000 to 23,000 rpm. It ships with a fixed base and a plunge base, so one motor covers edge work and plunge cuts. A 1/2-inch collet is fitted and a 1/4-inch insert is included for smaller bits. It suits woodworkers who want one motor for both jobs, though this version is factory blemished, so expect cosmetic marks rather than a perfect finish.

    Questions and answers

    What is a factory blemished router?
    It is a unit with cosmetic flaws, such as scuffs or marks, that did not pass the factory's appearance check. The tool itself is the same R2901 kit.
    Can I use both bases with the same motor?
    Yes. The motor locks into either the fixed base or the plunge base, so you swap it between them rather than buying two routers.
    What bit sizes does it take?
    It comes with a 1/2-inch collet and a 1/4-inch collet insert, so it accepts both common shank sizes.
    Does it have variable speed?
    Yes. The no-load speed adjusts from 10,000 to 23,000 rpm, which helps with large bits and with materials that burn at high speed.
    What is in the box?
    The R2901 motor, fixed base, plunge base, 1/2-inch collet, 1/4-inch collet insert, wrench, centering tool and pin, T-handle wrench, two vacuum attachments, contractor bag and manuals.
    Can the fixed base be mounted in a router table?
    The fixed base is the one to mount under a table, leaving the plunge base free for handheld work.
    Where is the Fixed and Plunge Base Router cheapest?
    At Direct Tools Factory Outlet, for $179.99, as of our latest check.
