If fed in the opposite direction, the rotation of the spinning bit will tend to throw the router away from the workpiece causing kickback. Page 17 If you force the router to move forward too fast, the RPM of the bit becomes slower than normal in relation to its forward movement.

There aren't many complaints about the performance of the RK. Several owners commented that the RK is noisy, but a recent router test in Fine Woodworking Magazine found that all the brands in the test were loud enough to require hearing protection.

Overall, the RK is a good choice for light-duty work or as your first router. It has a micro-adjustable depth stop for making repetitive plunge cuts up to 2" deep. It also has a spindle lock button for single-wrench blade changes. There are a number of different comments about the Ryobi plunge router online, and most are positive.

However, the locking lever has had to be repositioned a couple of times, and the plunge mechanism has too much play for really precise, repeatable work.
