Hardly an event that I was acounting. More of a statement. A mild attempt at humor(even if it was a poor attempt).My apologies if it was taken in any other way. But if your looking for a story try The Alchemist, it's one of my favorites.(another poor attempt at humor)

I am also looking at trim routers for my upcoming build (KMG kit). The local used tool dealer (Retool) has two porter cable laminate routers for 69.00 each and a Ridgid 2400 for 75.00 (Looks brand new). They all look in good condition. I have heard the Rigid 2401 is a little nicer than the 2400. I also have a local Harbor frieght store where the 20.00 trimmer can be purchased. Also I own two dremel tools (the lower bearings have some play in them) ,will the dremels be ok for Inlaying or should I buy something better, What power tool are you all using for inlay work? Thanks Jack.

The Harbor Freight routers are about $30 these days -- the black ones are a little nicer, I believe identical to the Grizzly's that cost twice as much. Anyway from practical side if you are going with the attachment get a Harbor Freight and use it as a proprietary tool -- no messing around. Make sure the collet is clear of chips and make sure you place a washer between the base and tightening knob (prevents wear and slippage) and you'll be golden. Dremel's strain to cut Spruce and are "painfully slow and under powered" for cutting the exotics. So get a Porter Cable or Rigid and a HF. $.02

I have no experience with anything other than the bosch colt for binding. You can definately use the dremel for inlay. I use the dremel with a couple of small spiral downcut bits.

I have a Bosch colt permanently married to the KMG infinate adjustment binding router jig, no complaints from me on either one.
