Harbor Freight Drill Master Trim Router Review 62659

[@davidmaynardprospecting]

Dan, I used one of these to mill a part out of aluminum with no problems at all. It has performed wonderfully repeatedly. I would recommend this to anyone.

[@jerryscray1789]

Why are you making it look so difficult? We don't live in a perfect world. It's a 25 dollar router geez

[@Garcias.Tattoos]

The comments really convince me to purchase one. I just need it for home use. Price is worth it. As long as it don't burn out the same day. I'll update after I'm done with my project.... Thanks for the video.... UPDATE... It's works great. First time using it. No problems at all, no complains on my part for a $25 machine that did what I needed in my home. Defently don't buy if you're a professional. But home job or hobby project are great. The motor stay cool and didn't over heat even when I thought it would and the cuts with the bit where clean and straight. I'm no professional. Just learning from KZbin. Hope it helps future watchers. Defently worth it.

[@matthewmills6452]

Thank you Dan. The video helped me make a decision. I'm a hobbyist wood worker and I think this will work for me. 1/8" round over will never leave the collet.

[@stacymebane2060]

I have Ryobi 18V palm router. Batter wouldn't last routing two cabinet doors so I had switch between 2 batteries every 2 minutes. Got fed up and went to HF to get this router. Made work so much easier. After 2 batteries, charger and tool i was out over 150 bucks for the Ryobi. The drill master is work the money IMO.

[@devogle7905]

Bought won about five years ago to do a project for installing laminate on table tops, worked very well. I felt it would be worth it for the one project. I have used it many time for the past five years and have been very happy with the performance. I have several other larger routers, but for lighter projects it has become my go to router.

Purchased this a month ago and can't believe how accurate it is especially after replacing 1 of the screws on the base.. the base is easy to replace and even make another one.. and if one is inclined buy a universal base from milescraft and you have a router that can go head to head with a much more exspensive trim router.. the cheaper harbor freight stuff is all about simple cheap mods create a great end result..

[@DanPonjican]

I am sure most of the experience vary on this unit. Poor QC means that they miss those bad units because they are either not checking or not often enough.

[@chadgardner3789]

I feel this is an unfair video. You are struggling with everything in the video. I have no issues with mine. To anyone who watches this video please do not stand by this review. I’m hoping those are the tools that came with it and he didn’t mix them up with a different tool he was going to review next. I had no issues with the tools in mine Or the router itself.

[@Jerrden]

I was wondering that. My wrenches that came with it are chrome colored 🤷‍♂️

[@undrtow0515]

I bought this for use for about a 2ft total cut. Didn’t want to drop $80 for simply that. Thanks for this review. I know what to watch for.

[@user-np7pq2gy1v]

I'm a mom who has always been interested in woodworking. Anyway, I knew absolutely nothing and taught myself how to set it up and did some test cuts. I had some successes and failures. I experienced a lot of frustration learning before I watched this video. My wrenches are frustrating but I think they work. It's like the collet has different widths from different angles. If I turn it, I can get the wrenches to fit. It's just kind of random. I also experienced the bit slipping, and when it did, it damaged the project as well as a little cheap kitchen table that doubles as a work table that I drag outside. My fault for using my table. I just have nowhere to store a work table. Also my fault for not securely and I mean SECURELY tightening the bit. I kept thinking the plastic thing needed tightening, but I now believe it was the bit. I am learning about how to hold the router. That is so confusing to me. I learned about direction the hard way, but I still struggle with which direction to hold the thing. My husband is so busy at work I hate to bother him. This video helped me. I think it's a great tool considering the price. I made a beautiful Roman ogee edge. I just need to learn how to use it. Thank you!

[@ajwilliams5551]

I bought one yesterday and was excited to use it, but the collet was faulty. I was finally able to get my trim cut bit in, tightened it well, and less than 10 seconds into me running it across my template and plywood edge, it popped off. Super dangerous. I was impressed by the good reviews, but I’ll be returning it today and getting another router with a better collet.

[@thomasedwards6044]

I have two of these. I bought them to sacrifice, but they refuse to die. If you know how to use the tool it will work very well. As always let the tool do the work and use jigs to increase your accuracy.

[@tomg.8418]

Someone suggested using a radiator hose clamp around the base to hold it tight.

[@cmarte17]

Wow! I will definitely be picking this up! Looks like with small modifications, this can be a quite decent router! Thank you for the video!

[@bobwahl3147]

This lightweight router is ideal for carving free-hand detail. The transparent base allows extra light to reach the cutting bit. My son is a Boy Scout with no prior woodworking experience. He used this router to carve letters onto a wooden sign. The router did exactly what he asked of it, and the finished sign was flawless.

[@dannelfalkner5285]

I have purchased and used this router for over 20 years...bought them for my brothers sons and nephews cheap and do the job

[@adamadkins9527]

[@ronstickle4694]

respectfully at 20:03 timeline it looks like the tool sits square with the base but the bearing in the bit looks off and looks like it is a bearing held on by a screw. i hate that kind of bit i had them come off while routing and mess up my work even after tightening before i start. it looks good enough for my light work i have a big porter cable for the big stuff. i am gonna buy one! thanks for posting!

[@aytviewer2421]

I thought I saw that exact same thing too. (bearing on the end of the bit looked bent to me)

[@mikeburrell3442]

Its not a dewalt...get over it. They work fine. Its almost like you didnt give it a chance.

[@pomonabill220]

For the spindle wrenches, I just got a cheap set of metric combo wrenches from HF and they were thin enough to fit the spindle. I agree, you get what you pay for. Mine also had too much overmolding inside that blocked air flow and the motor and front bearing to get very hot, to the point the spindle was untouchable after a short run. I trimmed the plastic away and now it runs cool. Also I use a speed control because the high speed sometimes burns the cutter.

[@DanPonjican]

Great idea to run this with a speed control. I would think buying something like this would be ideal for that kind of application where you can customize it to your liking. Thanks for the feedback.

[@pomonabill220]

You should use the router counter clockwise, always in the same direction, you will have better luck with your cuts and less tearout

[@stephenlutz123]

Harbor Frieght power tools require user interve tio to work. They are frustrating, but cheap. They can be made to work, but it can be a challange. The router table with router is fine for a edge rabbet or round over, but changing bit is a real PITA. If you make a living with tools, buy the expensive ones.

[@lisafuhrmeister8151]

So the cheap materials, wrench that doesn't fit around the collet and poor build quality is addressed in the directions? Must have missed that page.

[@W6DX]

I own one and you're right...the base is junk and the vibration of the motor is enough to make the height adjustment change as as you use the tool. If it were free, it would still be overpriced.

I had that problem too, but I figured out that I didn't have the bit REALLY tightened. Once I fixed that, it didn't slip. It was my first time to use a router.

[@genelegate1308]

Your video was shot a few months ago so I'm wondering at this time, have you ran it much? If the motor holds up ok, I'm thinking maybe it would be a good candidate to permantly mount under a router table, thus pitching the chincy base and guide.

I think if you weren't using the base, this unit would be just fine. Just keep in mind this isn't a very powerful motor. It is meant for trim work mostly.

[@RepTalez]

I have some Harbor Freight tools that I use all the time with no problems. This router on the other hand is junk. The motor seems powerfull enough, but my problem comes from the fact that you can not lock the depth adhustment. No matter how tight you tighten the knob, the vibrations cause the depth to change. Go to HD and get the Ridgid for $100, It is worth the difference.

[@lobitome]

That is THE problem with these. The non locking base plate. And then the bas plate is 2 pieces that allows sawdust to get in between the layers. The router itself would be better suited to be mounted in a way, where depth is permanently set. Maybe a diy mortiser?

Thanks for your comment Robert. What I think you (and some others) are missing is that value is a relative metric. It's relative to my personal perspective and economic condition. This video was clearly based off of my personal perspective. For me, the money saved on this tool wasn't worth the shortcuts the manufacturer made to keep it as cheap as possible. For ME, an extra few bucks for a better trim router are dollars well spent. But again, that is my perspective... Even as a DIYer. Thanks again for your feedback.

[@richbuege6491]

@@DanPonjican The problem, not with the router. It was made as a laminate trim router, not a general purpose. Every cut you made was a climb cut, and with a larger bit, a more powerful router, you'd have the router jerked out of your hands and chewing on your leg. Or using it on hardwood, almost all hardwoods would have taken it away and thrown it at you. I've had one for maybe ten years and no problems that I can't live with or correct.

They have a base that you can buy at Lowe's for $20 that works great for this router. If it were not for this I wouldn't recommend it because of the in inaccuracy as he said in the video but by replacing the base with the one from Lowe's, it's definitely worth it considering that others routers are close to $200.

[@mildyproductive9726]

I got one of these recently, and I agree that the base is... suboptimal. As a serious woodworker's primary router, this tool would be frustrating to use. But this isn't a proper router, and it's not advertised as a proper router. It's a trim router with a bunch of extra toy/junk accessories which most professional woodworkers will toss in the garbage. Since it does what it's supposed to and costs peanuts, how can it NOT be worth the $$? For anyone, any skill level or production volume, it can be nice to have multiple trim routers setup with specific bits, for edge work or trimming laminate.... things for which the height does not need to be changed once it is set. It could be useful for anyone building a CNC mill/router or slot mortiser. It could be useful in a router table with a DIY mount. It could be useful as a stubby electric die grinder/dremel. And it costs less than a Dremel tool.

[@DanPonjican]

As I mentioned in another comment reply, this video was my personal perspective and in turn my personal opinion. For me (and my budget and personal cost sensitivity) the low quality isn't worth the $50 or so of savings.

[@mildyproductive9726]

I have high brand trim routers. They are way better as routers, due to the better bases. Save $50? You can buy this thing for $25.00 from Home Depot with free shipping to your local store. That puts "save $50" into better perspective. This is about paying 25 more, not saving anything.

You can return to harbor freight any time for any reason even if there is nothing wrong with it. No questions asked

You must hold down the wood in a better manner than this. It made me cringe the way you put your hand in front of the router to try to hold the wood, then moved the router forwards and backwards.

[@terry2346]

The base is definitely poor. Guess I got lucky in that the tools that came with mine worked fine without any adjusting required. Also you need to run the router almost always counter to the revolution of the shaft. To run it otherwise is quite often dangerous and can sometimes spin off the nut holding on the guide bushing. Even with non guide type bits it can be hazardous. Hope this helps.

[@FitzCrafter]

I bought this exact router before I seen this review, I also came up with the same conclusion that its junk, As you said the wrenches dont fit, the base will not stay tight (plastic junk) and on mine the collet will not even hold the bit securely in place. I tried using the circle jig and the bit came out and stuck in my wall. You guys that say this is a good router must have just got lucky....

[@gsintyable]

Or maybe you were unlucky

[@samborhodes473]

The collet loosening from the bit is fairly common with these routers. I had one given to me and had the same results, minus the bit sticking into the wall. After a little looking around the web, I've found that it's hit or miss on many of the similarly designed trim routers. The bad collet is the #1 complaint I've found, along with the piss poor base design. I'll break my router down and find another use for the motor, but I won't use a tool I can't count on.

[@colemahaney4208]

[@brevs8387]

A decent router is going to cost you $65 (refurbished) to $100 or more (best one on the market now seems to be the Bosch Cobalt Palm router). While I would love to get one, I don't have that kind of cash to drop. Even used routers I have seen, that are in fair - almost falling apart - condition I am finding for $40-$50 (almost bought one yesterday from a Pawn Shop). Looking on eBay... the same router (pretty much, just orange) from China costs $40 and you have to wait a month to get it. I have been researching this for at least a month, or better, trying to find the best bang for my buck. I think you are expecting too much out of this tool. For the price, you can't. It's the same with most of HF's power tools (often the cheapest name brand competitor tool, at twice the cost, will still be slightly better than their tools... I have a Ryobi scroll saw that is testament to that, compared to the two HF scroll saws I killed over 2 years of moderate use). You get what you pay for and sometimes it works better than expected for half the cost of name brand tools. If you don't have the time to experiment, then spend more money for a better tool.

[@DanPonjican]

Thanks for your comments. Valid points but as I mentioned in another comment reply, value is relative to each user. For me, the value isn't here. I would much rather spent he extra cash for a better tool in this category. Maybe not true for you, but for me it certainly is. Everyone is different and has different constraints and perspectives. This video was mine. Thanks.

[@daveyoudle8396]

It's not a good advert for Kreg. That clamp was pathetic. Probably needed adjusting, you didn't do it any favours by not sorting it. The HF trimmer is pretty awful. Have a look at Katsu laminator/trimmer. About $33. Its a Chinese copy of a Makita. Very good. Do a review of that, it will surprise you. The quality is much better than the HF tool.

You get what you pay for......Pay $150.00 (Hundred and Fifty) and I bet you will get one that meets your standards.

why did you buy the first place dont you know how to read and wach other video for reference.

[@DanPonjican]

I bought it to test it for myself bud. Not sure what good watching other videos of other opinions would have done. "I don't know how to read"? Coming from someone who can't hardly write. Lol

Hey...if you don’t want it...I’ll take it off your hands!!!!

Everything you buy from Harbor Freight eventually becomes a hammer. Thanks for your sacrifice and my edification. Looking elsewhere.
