Thank you for watching EMPOWERED PEEPS!
Today I reviewed and talked about the features, functions and safe use of the Ryobi ONE+ fixed base, compact, hand-held, cordless router. With this tool, you can produce beautiful, professional edges on all of your woodworking projects. Routers are fun and easy to use and the results are so satisfying!
Though I cover safety in depth, I still recommend that you read and follow your instruction manual. Ultimately your safety is your own responsibility.
Now that you are equipped the the knowledge of how to use this tool, I encourage you to grab a router and create something beautiful...
Something you're proud of!
And when you do, please post a picture on Instagram and tag ‪@ryanetotherescue‬ because I would love to see what you made!!
If you have any comments, questions, or additional tips that you'd like to share, I'd love to hear them!
To my widow and widower friends, my heart is to:
empower widows 💪
provide support for widows
resources for widows
and help for widows
provide grief resources for surviving grief ❤️‍🩹
be a widow advocate ❤️
assure you that God loves widows
and be a source of infotainment 😄
If your spouse passed away and you are grieving the loss of your spouse, I want to come along side you and help you feel empowered. Losing a spouse is so overwhelming in every way! It is my hope that my videos can help you feel more equipped emotionally and also in accomplishing every day tasks!
I love the idea of becoming a self developed woman and one happy widow!
Join the movement of empowerment! Let's master new skills and THRIVE despite our losses. Let's be ladies with power tools! 💪💕🛠️

Very refreshing to see a woman giving good advises on how to use power tools! I'm just a happy amateur and may not have the same ability for precise motion as a professional, but I would actually position the base plate in the opposite direction to what you demonstrated. - When using the Roundover bit and the Side Groove bit, having more area of the base plate on the work piece will reduce the chance of tilting the vertical axis of the router (which causes uneven cuts). - When using the vertical Groove Cut bit, the distance (of the groove) from the edge guide will not be influenced by any rotation of the router around the vertical axis if the circular part of the base plate is held against the edge guide.

@ryanetotherescue Жыл бұрын

Excellent input! Thank you so much! I was also thinking the base plate should have been the other way for the round over bit. But I positioned it like the instruction manual (which I thought was weird). I'm glad to hear that my instincts were correct. Thanks for watching!! :)

I've done my share of routing in the past. Got pretty good at sliding dovetail joinery, not anywhere near master level, but got done what I needed . along with decorative edging. etc. Being a huge Ryobi fan, have had my eye on this model, tired of the corded tools. The best nearly dustless way of routing I've found is using a router table....ah..but the set ups involved....lol. I must say, this video was extremely well done & professional, very informative, no stone left unturned here that I could see..... I think I'm in love now......... with the tool, of course.😘

First of all, thanks so much for your kind comments on my video. I’m so glad you found it helpful! Second, I have no idea why but Ryobi does not offer this exact model anymore. I can’t find it anywhere!! But you could use this link to buy the router without the dust collector attachment. www.amazon.com/dp/B071V2XFS8/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_JQZ9PZM17H1SAVE15G63?linkCode=ml2&tag=ryanetother0c-20 And then, here is a dust collector you can purchase off Etsy. I don’t know if it works well. If you purchase it and use it, I’d love to have your feedback on how it worked. I think the other viewers would like to know as well. www.etsy.com/listing/1620073827/custom-dust-adapter-for-ryobi-p601

Not sure if anyone is run into this, but my depth kept changing. It was annoying and I found out the screw that secures the black latch needed to be a bit tighter. Since it wasn't tight enough, the bit depth would drop during use. There's a small allen key to tighten it. Tighten it until you can't move the depth guide, then loosen it just enough until it comes free.

Being careful I press down with my left thumb to get good registration for this tippy tool. The only thing you can screw up with round-overs is the bit too proud. It just occurred to me to mount an offset handle there to remove my thumb from the proximity of the bit. Still using my 30+ year old pistol grip Makita with a knob on the front.

I'm currently in the market for a cordless palm router, and since I'm already in the Ryobu platform the PCL424 is one that I'm considering. Watched your video to get some info on it, and was surprised at a couple of your "tips." First, since I don't own the router yet I can't be sure, but it certainly appears that the dust collection port should go on the open side, not in place of the flat peice already installed. You will get far better dust collectiong on ANY tool the more enclosed the cutting area is. Second, routers are not ALWAYS used left to right. If you were to use the router on the side farthest from you and move left to right that would be a climb cut and is extremely dangerous as it can cause a kickback event. You should always move a router counter-clockwise around the outside of a work piece. Therefore if you were to route the side farthest from you, you would need to move it from right to left. Also, if you were routing the interior of a work piece one some like the inside of a donut shaped piece for example you would move the clockwise. I would hope you could make an edit or addendum to this video to clear that up. I'd be worried that someone who has never used a router and only watches your video might do something like move in a counter-clockwise motion on the interior of a work piece, or from left to right on side farthest from them, and cause a dangerous kickback and hurt themselves. Otherwise the video was helpful in making my purchase decision.

Thank you for this video, very helpful! Ryobi instruction manuals are usually decent, but I found this router's instructions rather unclear at times. Btw I'm curious, have you found the measuring ruler on the side useful? I don't see how it could be used consistently / accurately, because every time you install a different bit, the recommended gap that we are supposed to leave between the bit and the collet will vary slightly - not to mention the varying lengths of bits themselves. Maybe I'm thinking about this the wrong way?

@ryanetotherescue 4 ай бұрын

Perhaps the measurement on the side is useful if you use the same bit over and over, then you can remember your preferred setting.
