The Ryobi RTR18-0 is a cordless trim router within the Ryobi ONE+ system, powered by an 18V Li-ion battery. With a speed range of 20,000 to 30,000 RPM, it provides sufficient power for edge trimming, grooving and decorative profiling in wood and wood-based materials. The machine is supplied as a bare tool – battery and charger are not included – making it a practical addition if you already own other tools in the ONE+ range.

The construction features an aluminium base that provides stable contact with the workpiece and reduces the risk of tilting. A built-in micro depth adjustment allows you to set the routing depth incrementally for controlled work, while the LED light illuminates the cutting area so you can see precisely where the bit is working.

Despite a top speed of 30,000 RPM, the RTR18-0 weighs just 1.2 kg without the battery, making it manageable even during extended work sessions. The collet accepts router bits with 6 mm and 6.35 mm (1/4") shanks, giving access to a wide range of cutters.

What is the Ryobi RTR18-0 trim router and why should you choose it?

The Ryobi RTR18-0 is a compact, battery-powered trim router designed for light to medium routing tasks in wood. It belongs to the Ryobi ONE+ platform where all 18V batteries are interchangeable across more than 200 tools in the range. This means you avoid investing in separate battery systems if you already own other Ryobi ONE+ machines.

The micro depth adjustment provides the ability to fine-tune the routing depth without making coarse adjustments, which is an advantage when working with laminate, edge banding and finer profiles. The aluminium base contributes to smooth gliding and higher precision compared to plastic bases. The LED light is a practical addition that improves accuracy in poorly lit environments.

What environments is this product suited for?

The Ryobi RTR18-0 performs well in joinery workshops, home workshops and on construction sites where cordless operation is a practical benefit. It handles edge rounding, chamfering, groove routing and simpler profiling work in solid wood, plywood, MDF and laminate. Thanks to its low weight and compact size, it is also suitable for on-site work – for example during kitchen fitting, furniture restoration or interior projects where you need to bring the tool to the workpiece.
