Overview
The RYOBI P343 is an 18 volt cordless router with a 20000 RPM top speed, weighing about 0.9 kilograms, or roughly 2 pounds, and measuring 5.15 by 3 by 11.75 inches.
A 20000 RPM top speed is typical of compact trim routers built for edge work such as rounding over, chamfering and trimming laminate, rather than full size plunge routers used for deep joinery cuts. Running on RYOBI's 18 volt battery system also means it draws from the same battery pool as other RYOBI 18V tools.
