If you are a DIYer what are you doing without a circular saw? Aldi
have two on offer one at £49.99 and one at £59.99, they are probably
cheap and cheerful but will probably do a better job than any
solution using a pillar drill as a router. You never know you might
even find some uses in other jobs .

A usable router can be had for even less!


making a nice straight groove is not easy in inexperienced
hands. I'd use a circular saw and make multiple parallel
cuts and clean up with a chisel.

An accurate groove in even an entry level router should be very doable
so long as it has a fence that can run along the edge. Easiest if the
cutter is the preferred width to start with, to save needing more than
one offset set on the fence.
