I find a router an unwieldy tool for cutting a mortice, simpler to use a drill and chisel then round the tenon. Unless you have one of the neat little palm routers of course. I often make up custom foot guides for my Bosch which I now call Draculette after it taught me to wear leather gloves. I've never thought of using a dremel - not much power I would have thought . . .

If you are going to add the inwale I don't see why you can't cut open mortices (technically a lap joint) with a saw and close them with the inwale.

Good luck with it whatever you try!
