Trim routers are an emerging and quickly evolving category. Born from laminate trimmers (traditionally used just for that sub-trade), trim routers are more general-purpose tools and great for loads of tasks beyond the laminate shop. They’re small and powerful, and new designs like Ridgid’s R2400 take them a giant step toward replacing larger fixed-base routers on site and in the shop.
I ran the R2400 through a battery of tests in my shop and on a trim site. I tested the tool for power and performance as a router-substitute rather than fabricating laminate slabs.
