Something that is more powerful and cheaper than a Dremel is a $20 Harbor Freight orange plastic trim router. It has a cylindrical body that is about 3.5" long and is easy to mount. I have cut a 12" circle 1/2" deep in one pass with mine. It slows down but managed to chug on through a piece of 11 ply plywood ok using a 1/4" straight flute carbide router bit. It wasn't intentional, but I just let it go since it seemed to be handling it ok and it was a "test until it breaks" effort anyway. I've learned how to set zero better since then.
I have a RotoZip Revolution kit, a Sears All-in-One kit (a Rotozip clone), and a Ryobi 1.5 HP refurb cast aluminum straight wall case router that are all fair game when needed.
I don't recall seeing many RotoZips on cnc machines but the $20 trim router appears fairly often on newbie machines.
