      @@Frightningman You can get an attachment that fits on most hand held routers which allows you to use mortise drills. The part that makes the square hole attaches to the body of the router and the drill goes through an attachment to the collar chuck. The fence doo-hikey is a bit weird to use at first, but it's a decent tool. Certainly worlds better than having to carve it out. Unfortunately, i don't remember the name, i know it's made in Canada tho. I think it's something with a small beaver tail on a square drill as a logo. Oh, and it's not a recent tool, we're talking mid 80's i believe. My Canadian uncle had a couple of them.
      Alternatively, you could just use the contraption Matthias Wandel made (also, a Canadian...), AKA his panto-router. Which is perfect for drilling square holes and other things.
