Everyone is correct. Either you have to mount one router upside down so that both are either climbing, which is the way I have mine set up with lots of featherboards, adjustable fences which moves router as well for varying widths of strips. Or you can mount both right side up through your table but one will be on the climb and the other will be the opposite. I have mine both climbing as this gives less tear out. I then just push and pull strips through. Used to use planer as a feed and thickness at same time, but whenever a strip would blow apart and jam in the routers, I would have to take the whole thing apart and re-adjust the routers. I can run strips through faster by hand in two stages. Of course a $40,000 shaper, milling machine like Newfound or Noah's uses would be nice.
