Vince from the description it sounds like you get the cutter and the arbor and a bearing. Now you have to decide if you want the 1/4" shank or 1/2" shank... this is dependent on the router you get. Some routers come with only a 1/4" collet/chuck while others have both the 1/4" and the 1/2". Some people feel the 1/2" is better but for this bit I don't think it would matter. Now if the 9/16" cut is too deep you could replace the bearing to get closer to the dimension you want.

You will notice that the bit has a diameter listed of 2". As was mentioned you could do this with a hand held router but it might be safer to think about a table where it would be easier to put a guard in place to keep your fingers and other body parts out of harms way. If you click on the oak-park banner that will take you to the place that sells the Router Workshop type tables (some stuff is also on Amazon.com).

Ed,

Got a Porter-Cable 9690LR at Home Depot cause I had a $50 gift certificate. Will heed your advice on a table and other items. Whatever comes about will be satisfactory as I do not intend to go "overboard". Thanks for your help. Will let you know what transpires in the future. Vince
