Drill bits for router?

[DrPhill]

The woodpeckers autoline is very good and very portable, bonus compared to a router is the drilling depth and choice of drill bits that you can use.

For many other task the router performs well and is a cheaper option.

That looks brilliant, Spectric. Probably a bit costly for me and the amount of use it would get though...... but I can dream!

I needed something to drill perpendicular holes into some wood to a depth of 150mm, my biggest router only plunges to 75mm and the wood was in situ so ruled out my drill press. I tried one of those contraptions which there are many versions and it was really awfull because it was just unwieldy, thought of the Rockler but not available in the UK so had a mad moment and got the autoline. Woodpeckers products are not cheap but you know they will be good.

DrPhil, I use a Dremel and made a small router base for it and you could use it as a drill press very easy.

I'm in no hurry as I need to sketch out the job first

Good plan, you may find a different solution in that process.

I can't help but think that screwing two piece's of wood together is not a good idea for a flute case, have you considered a dowel joint with blind hole on the top surface and then gluing the bits together. One assumes a wooden closed end trough with a sliding/hinged lid, but not having any sketch's of what you are trying to do make's it difficult to imagine.
