Cutting Forster bit circles using a router

Cutting Forster bit circles using a router

What would the best way to cut a circle in a peice of wood using a router to get a Forstner bit type look. (This was the only reference photo, my Forstner bit circles have gotten better, they would he covered by felt as well) I just want to know if it is possible cause i don't want to have to go over and bother my grandpa to use his drill press.

Edit - spelling

Edit 2 - the forstner bits are also my grandpa's so I dont want to borrow them from him a lot of times. Sorry for the confusion

Edit 3 - I am not trying to put a forstner bit into a router. That is dangerous. Im trying to figure out how to make a hole that gives the look of a forstner bit, but using a router and router bit. Sorry again

Edit 4 - My grandpa and i have a good relationship. I meant I didnt want to bother him cause he's going on vacation in a few days and is stressed with that cause of packing and getting mad at his phone cause he needs to use the cruise app for everything and tbh he has no idea how to use his phone

Planer dust collector

I ordered a planer the other day and wanted to get everyones opinion. I have a 12 gallon 4.5 hp shop vac 100 cfm. It has a 2.5 in hose opening but the planer is a 4 in opening. Has anyone had any luck using an adaptor to use a shop vac like this to collect the dust frkm the planer?
