Regan,
You are right, the Ryobi works great for basic stuff. I have used it with a template on the sides and making blocking etc.
i would like to use the router to cut out oval cabinet doors to make the interior storage cabinets (like the Camp-Inn). Oddly, Ryobi does not make and adapter for guide bushings for this router and so I am faced with either changing my plans or buying a new router that accepts guide bushings. Another option is the universal plate and bushings. I may try to adapt a plate to the router. Then I would be very happy with it.
