I did mine with "backwards" feed, so the bit wants to pull. Use tight feather boards holding the work down to the table and tight to the fence, it shouldnt be a problem. Stay out of the line of fire, just in case!

: Also, unlike Charlie, I have my (homemade) router table set up so that the
: bit rotates in the direction that pulls the strip through the table. This
: was the recommendation from the One Ocean Kayak instruction manual.
: Charlie's post has me wondering what the consensus is on feed direction
: vs. bit rotation.

: cheers
