: 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.

I decided to take Scotts lead, yours and others - mill bead and cove in separate operations dedicating each router table for each task. It is a nightmare for me to change bits and aligning them perfectly.
A $40K shaper? I will try my best to do without one. :>)
