I haven't heard of that brand before but, it looks like you'll have atleast 30 days to get your money back if it fails to live up to your expectations.

I’m waiting to hear from their tech support with regard to the size of the base opening. It looks small. And if it has compatable adapter for PC templates.

I have not use one or seen one but here's one review I found on it.

http://www.toolseeker.com/PowerTools...sp?var1=OM650K

For 80.oo bucks ,what the heck give it a shot, you can't have to many routers or clamps. and if you don't like it ,would make a great looking door stop for your wood working shop or a nice desk lamp.

get it and write a review.

Harbor freight has a rep for pretty poor quality stuff.

But for $80 what's the worst that'll happen you won't like it and you'll sell it for $250.00 on E-bay?
