...to spin a 3/4" straight bit in a PC template guide with a 25/32" ID?

A plunge router using a plunge bit makes the cleanest holes.
My thoughts, too. Plus, quicker.
I am new to routers but I saw a video where someone was using a bushing guide and template to drill 1/2" holes with a plunge router. I thought that was amazing. Then he showed using same bushing guide and 1/2" bit to drill 3/4" holes with a 1" template. Would that work for you?

Make it super simple & keep it super simple is the polite explanation
