Buy a 1/2″ collet machine, you can reduce down to 1/4 or 6mm shank bits but you cant go the other way 😀
Get a 1.5 – 2hp motor as well, most of them are speed controlled, but make sure its got a soft start if you ever want to do anything freehand
In a table its less important.
You can cut worktops easily with something like that.
Once you have a Router, you can make a table really easily, this can be as basic as a sheet of perpex with the router upside down in a bucket and bearing guided cutters, right up to multiple fenced, height adjustable tables that allow you to make more complex items.
Router Jigs and techniques is a very good book for homemade jigs, tables etc.
