Was considering for my workbench, a series of classic dog holes, 3/4" dia.
To get them straight and perpendicular to the benchtop, I was considering drilling them with a plunge router. Researching what bit i would use, I even found MLCS recommends a bit #7498 for dog holes.
Has anyone used a plunge router for this type of larger hole? I've seen them used for drilling the holes for adjustable shelving before, but those are only 1/4". What kind of trouble could I get in? the other choices would be a handheld drill with spade bit or a handheld drill with 3/4" Silver and Deming (reduced shank) twist bit. I can't figure out how to hold use drill press to do this except by holding the benchtop on the DP table, which doesn't seem too practical.
