I have a brand new Skil router Model 1810. It has a lever to lock the base
to the motor after setting the cut depth. With the Base locked to the
motor, I can "rock" the motor within the base enough to move the bit 1/8
inch. Needless to say, this makes a very sloppy cut! I have e-mailed Skil
but they have not yet replied. Anyone have suggestions?

Yep. eBay. Hope you kept the box and papers. There's a reason that
you can buy that Skil for $60.

You need to buy a better unit, and yes it will cost a bit more. It's
an extremely useful tool and will last a long time. Viewed another
way, you'' probably spend more on good bits than you will on the
router. So spring for a good one. Porter Cable invented the router
and they don't make ****ty ones. DeWalt is also good, as is Bosch.
