Hi,
This can sound weird but... have you tryed to use router bits with a drill?
A fixed drill (vertical fixed, on a table) should behave very close to a
plunging router....

Big difference in performance between spinning 700 rpm versus 22,000. Tried
it once with a straight cutter just to trim a little piece. Router bits
work best in routers.

No where near the required speed to rout properly with a drill & possibly
dangerous if the slower speed allows the bit to kickback....not even worth
trying in my opinion.

Even high speed drills are limited to about 2500 rpm, without load. Routers
start at about 4 times that and rise to 25,000 or more rpm. Too, the bearings
in drills are not built to take the side loads routers get.

Except that the tool (and its bearings) are NOT designed for a side load...
