Default advice on router bits for cabinet doors

trying to decide whether to buy 1/4 inch rail and stile bits for my current ryobi benchtop table

for door making as a hobby or to splurge and purchase 1/2 inch dewalt router 2 1/4
horsepower from lowes.

I am not sure if the dewalt will fit my table though.

This is just a hobby right now.

If you're just making rails and stiles, 1/4" is probably sufficient... but if you plan also on making
raised panels (which requires a larger-diameter cutter) you will definitely need the larger
shank and more powerful router.
