Router question?
BadMouth:
I have the one from harbor freight (appears to be the same model).
No matter how tight I clamp the depth adjustment, it moves on me.

I only tested it on a few pieces of scrap and noticed that the cut kept getting deeper as I was routing.
I tightened the depth adjustment to the point that I was afraid it would break, but it still slipped as the router vibrated.
I was afraid to use it for anything but flush trim work after that. Read the reviews on harbor freight.

I have a cheapo router from harbor freight and I've used it for trimming the laminate on my cab as well as slotting for t-molding and a few other odds and ends and its held up real well for a $22 router.

I borrowed a router from my dad for routing the joystick stuff on my CP. I had the same problem where the bit started slipping out and "auto-adjusted" the depth of the routed path. I caught it early enough that I was able to fix the problem with just a little extra liquid nail.
In my case, the problem was that the collet was junked up with bits of crap from previous jobs. After cleaning things up, I was able to get it to work correctly. I decided to get a new one and return his router in the end since I figured I'd probably need it again at some point. It's been sitting brand new in the box for ~1.5 years now... BUT, when I need to do some routing... :dunno
