Overview
RYOBI's RMT18-0 puts an 18-volt cordless trim router at 20,000 RPM into a package weighing about 0.9 kilograms, light enough for one-handed edge work.
Trim routers like this one are built for edge work, laminate trimming and small roundovers rather than deep plunge cuts, and running on an 18-volt battery instead of a cord trades some raw power for the ability to work away from an outlet. At under 2 pounds it stays light enough to guide one-handed along a trim edge, which is the main appeal of the compact-router format over a full-size plunge router.
- Power: 18V cordless (DC)
- Speed: 20,000 RPM

Who it's for
Good for a woodworker or RYOBI ONE+ owner who already has 18-volt batteries and wants a light, cordless option for edge trimming and light laminate work. Less suited to anyone needing deep plunge cuts or heavy stock removal, where a corded full-size router has more power to spare.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Cordless convenience at 20,000 RPM
- Light at about 2 pounds for one-handed edge work
- Compatible with the wider RYOBI ONE+ 18V battery system
- 4.4 rating across 568 reviews
- Likely sold as tool-only, without battery or charger
- Less power than a corded router for deep cuts
Performance notes
Running at up to 20,000 RPM off an 18-volt battery, it is built for the lighter end of routing work such as edge trimming and roundovers rather than hogging out deep cuts, where a corded router's sustained power has the advantage. Because RYOBI's naming convention marks -0 listings as tool-only, runtime depends on whichever ONE+ battery the buyer pairs it with.
