    Default Ryobi ERT 241200 end float

    My Ryobi 1200w 1/2 inch router (very similar to an Elu) is quite a nice router to use. However after very little work it has developed almost a millimetre of end float. Is this considered to be acceptable? Can I fix it myself? Would it be worthwhile to go through the hassle of making a warranty claim?
    Best Regards
    By the way saw the new Triton 1400w today at Bunnies
    The good news is that its made in Taiwan The bad news its priced at $288

    Glad someone in NSW has seen them. I've been in 4 different Bunnies over the past couple of weeks trying to spot one. I was beginning to think they were a phantom router.

    I don't have an answer for your Ryobi problem though, sorry.

    1mm sounds like a fair bit though.

    Hi Barry,

    1mm end float seems an awful lot to me - can't see how one could achieve a decent level finish with the shaft bobbing up and down by that much.

    If within the warranty period (or even just outside of it), I would be taking the matter up with Ryobi.

    BTW, I have one of those machines as a spare (the noise of the bugger drives me nuts), but even after 18 months of intermittent use, it's still ok.

    Cheers!

    I too have one of them(1 of 6 routers), mine is so noisy that one of my neighbours complained but it was during the day so I told him to "get on ya bike buddy".
