Capability limit of a trim router.

I have been out playing with my new trim router, its a Makita weighing in at about 700 watts. @PeterWpreviously suggested anything bigger could be lethal in my hand.

 

Tomorrow I am going to build a temporary external door frame for my house using some spare lengths of 3" x 2" softwood. My idea is to joint the frame covers with rebate joints formed by the router.

 

Can a trim router comfortably munch out a 75mm x 45mm x 8m rebate? I have a routing bit with a 12.7mm diameter an max depth of 19mm.
