Thanks for the info on end mills. I assume that they are more expensive than
1/4" shank router bits. Probably not worth the extra cost for my needs.

Perhaps, if it's a trim router and you probably won't be doing plunge
cuts with it.

However, I use end mills exclusively as bits for my Multi-Router for
cutting mortises'.

The advantage is the lower lengths available with end mills, as opposed
to router "bits".

It often a challenge to find a router bit long enough to cut to the
mortise depth you need when chucked safely in the router, and you must
also go through the thickness of the "table" of a router "jig" to cut
the mortise.
