  1. No one hurt

    Made Oct 30, 2017, sent to the company Mar 16, 2018, published by CPSC Apr 2, 2018

    The product, in the report: 1/4 in. 2.4 Amp Trim Router, Drill Master - Item#61626. Powerful and compact, this trim router makes short work out of trim and molding projects. The high speed motor cuts wood with precision and power. The trim router has a standard collet that accepts most router bits.

    I bought a Drill Master Router 1/4” from Harbor Freight in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho on October 29, 2017. Putting the tool together and the instructions have you put together a “frame” to stabilize the wood your cutting. The screw and bolt that connects the frame together has a square hole and a circle screw. You cannot lock the screw and bolt down all the way to keep the frame from sliding. When I went to use the router for the first time after putting it all together, the frame slid forward and the router almost took my finger off.
