I'm looking to round out the bottom of a hole, and I'm wondering if it's a good idea to use a Forstner bit to drill it out first, then follow up with a round nose router bit on a drill press. Does that sound like a solid plan, or is there a better technique I should consider?

Using a Forstner bit to start is a decent approach, especially for those sizes you're mentioning. It gives you a flat bottom to start with before you round it out. Just make sure to take it slow with the router bit to avoid any catch or tear-out.
Yeah, I agree! Just be careful with the depth when using the router bit. Too deep and you might end up with a mess.
