Even it you fitted a small hand held router, it could do some work.

My milling bits have "chip clearing spirals". So it is pulling the router into the work. If the work is secured, it will keep the gantry pulled down into the work piece.

If nothing else, you can make up some killer "kit" boxes with everything located in one place.
