I really like the Bosch router I have. Plenty of power and you can swap out the fixed base for a plunge if you want.
My router spends most of its life in this table, which I also like.
It's really durable, as well. It's been in daily use for almost a year without issue.
I havent used those exact sawhorses before but the folding saw horses that I have used are pretty flimsy and wobble a lot
you would also need to buy/make a fence
also for less money you can get THIS
or even better THIS
Are you feeding the stock from your right to left across the bit? Are you using a featherboard to hold the stock against the fence so you only have to push down and through? 2 featherboards would even better so you have 1 pushing down and 1 pushing against the fence.
I have this router table from Bosch: http://www.amazon.com/Bosch-RA1171-Cabinet-Style-Router/dp/B000H14DLY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1409782147&sr=8-2&keywords=bosch+router+table
and it has worked well for my needs with the included featherboards.
It could also be due to a dull router bit but I imagine that is new as well?
