uses for a HF trim router with too much runout?

Folks, any suggestions? Never used it as a router after I watched the router bit spinning with a wobble. But it is a motor in a case with a power cord and a switch and a chuck that can hang onto 1/4" shafts. And HF didn't want to honor their time-limited guarantee, so it's mine for all time.

If you use bits with a ball bearing guide I don't think is matters much -- they only can cut as deep/wide as the the bearing allows, might have some chatter.

Ken, thanks. I had no idea of what a wobbly router would be good for.
