Does anybody know why you would not just use a hole saw and a few common bits?

Hi cnse55

This is just my 2 cents

Hole saws work great if the hole is smaller than 4" and you can cut it from both side of the stock ,but they don't cut CLEAN like a the router..
The cost of a 4" hole saw is not cheap then if you get into the 6" hole saw size you are looking at big bucks and a hvy.duty drill to turn them like a hole hog etc.

But with a router you can get the job done quick and easy without putting out big bucks just for a hole.

CNSE, you do not have to spend the money for a jig, you can easily build your own from a piece of Plexiglas or Masonite. Homemade or store bought these jigs will let you make accurate circles quickly.
