First off I would recommend getting a more powerful router if you are
going to be cutting raised panels with horizontal bits.

Adding to what Leon has said - that more powerful router should likely
stay
in the table all of the time. Once you get set up to properly use the
'big router' for raised panels and other table tasks, resetting it for
other
uses is a PITA. Much more time wasted than even the hobbyist will
appreciate.

And if you decide to go that route, I'd say that you might want something
else for a plunge router. The 890 plunge base sucks IMHO.

what exactly is bad about it, I haven't gotten the plunge base for mine yet.
