Bench Mount Drill Press

I don't see that Dewalt available, but Amazon is currently running a promo for Dewalt tools and I saw this: http://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DW616-4...FCC0CMYSYCW6DY

I know this is overkill but the price is right. Would it work well, or will the size be a problem?

Looks bulky, I would get the one at Home Depot for $89 unless you are going to use the router for other bigger projects. From my little experience on 2 lowers, you really need the "palm" size router. More comfortable and easy to maneuver with finesse.

This is the router I picked to use with the Modulus jig I have. Works pretty good for me. Easy to use. This is my first router of any kind.

The Bosch colt does a great job. I highly recommend that router

We do not recommend this router because they have an issue with the depth control mechanism slipping. Several people have damaged their lowers when the depth control slipped. It seems like it is a hit and miss problem with that router. Many of the Amazon reviews also confirm this issue. If you get a good one, it has great features, but because of the number of failures reported with this router slipping, we'd recommend purchasing another model.

Amazon negative reviews for Bosch router (note common slip problem):
