    Sell it or keep it? (old 1.5hp router)

    I picked up a cheap Harbor Freight dovetail jig.
    For the little amount I believe I'll use it, it should be fine.
    I have two drawers to make in the next few weeks, then it might be a year or longer before I need to make another.

    The jig isn't the issue though.

    I have an old Craftsman 1.5hp router I bought years and years and years ago and I recall only using it one time.

    My thoughts are I could either dedicate that router to doing dove tails, or just sell it.
    I doubt it will bring more than $20/$30, if that, but, it's one less thing sitting on the shelf.

    I do have three other routers so it's not like I really need it or anything.
    But - it is a real convenience to have a dedicated tool like that.

    I'm really pretty stuck on this...
    Any advice?
