HF trim router - worth it?

[jarhead]

For those that have Harbor Freight's trim router... is it worth the $20? Can a trim router be used to cut the dovetails or is it underpowered for the task?

I wouldn't use it to cut dovetials, BUT...

I have one that cost 10 times that amount

Use it for hand-held stuff that the 1/4" collet can handle. Assuming the thing is "reasonable" quality - I'd buy at least 2.

Surely for $20 ea you can't go wrong

I bought one last spring and took it back because the hole in the shaft for the collet was drilled off-center. May have just been that one but... I ended up buying the Ridgid. I use the thing alot, great for doing small round overs and just about anything that I'd use a handheld router for. Pat
