Seems like a good choice. I think I have an extra 1/2 bit in my toolbox that you could have for making your recess cut. Just send me a personal message. |

I saw a router at Home Depot today that was only $60. Would using an inexpensive router get the job done? I can't go out and spend $200 on a tool right now, but as long as it works I could care less how fancy a model I get, as long as it's cost effective and won't ruin my project. Any advice on selecting tools? |

The ones you're referring to are professional type routers. No, the Ryobi model you saw is just fine for everyday woodworking projects. I have the same Ryobi model and it's been just fine for me. If you were going to be building a bunch of things beyond the arcade cabinet I'd say you could upgrade, but it'll get the job done nicely. |

OK, that's what I wanted to hear. ;D |
