Overview
The RIDGID R86240B is a router built for shaping edges, cutting grooves and hollowing recessed areas in wood, sized for workshop and jobsite trim work. It carries RIDGID's tool lineup badge and a track record of 175 buyer reviews at a 4.3 average.
Routers are judgment tools: the base, collet and bit determine what a job needs, and this listing does not publish motor, voltage or collet detail beyond the model number. What is confirmed is demand, about 100 units moved in the past month, which for a router points to steady, repeat trade use rather than a one-off purchase.

Performance notes
Router performance comes down to motor speed control, collet size and base stability, none of which are listed for the R86240B in this catalog. Buyers evaluating cut quality and control should confirm these details directly from RIDGID before ordering.
