if you will be doing rabbits on a table saw for cabinets (highly recommended as above) then you will need to build a cross cut sled -- look up videos.

I've been building custom cabinets for years as a DIY'r and it is amazing to be able to reconfigure a kitchen or add customs in some portion of the house.

With the router you will be able to match existing profiles if needed (sometimes you must combine bits and do multiple passes to match a hard to find or outdated profile).

I have made approx a dozen 5 piece raised panel cabinet doors (some fairly large) with just a router and table, be warned that it will take ~5 passes for each side of the raised panel. The amount of wood removed is ridiculous. A shaper is much better and can be found on craigslist/etc all the time if you really get into the hobby.

Don't expect to make heirloom quality stuff your first half dozen cabinets, lol.
