I received the future fin installation kit as a gift, but it didn’t come with a router. I have read many posts here and only found that the kits from a couple years ago came with the Ryobi tr45 router. Will any trim router fit the future install kit or do I have to buy a tr45 on eBay? I saw harbor freight had an inexpensive one, but I didn’t want to buy a wrong one. Thanks as always guys.
To use the kit as designed the router base has to fit into the collar that slides along the jig plate. I would guess that as long as the router had the same baseplate to fit into the collar and the router bit was same, it should work. .02 from a backyarder
I have several fin routers. I still use the original Ryobi that it came with.I set my up with a Rigid 1/4" router. It has variable speed control and a light so you can see well. I just modified the base to fit inside the Future doughnut. 10 minutes and you’ve got the top of the line router set up. Good luck, Barry Snyder
