One thing to consider is that the power to cut with a 1/8 endmill is dramatically less than needed for a 1/4 and 1/2 inch endmill. Why not consider swapping out your router with a decent electric long shaft die grinder - they give the collet size and the extension. Milwalkee and Bosch both make one although pricer than HF's 24.99 specials.
