Always feed the router opposite to the direction in which the cutter is rotating.
Only carbide-tipped cutters should be used on panels faced with plastic laminates.
The hard laminates will quickly dull steel cutters.

Direction Of Feed

ence between a successful job and a ruined project. Figures 11 and 12 show
proper direction of feed for some typical cuts.
Mold the outside edge of a piece of stock by a) mold the end grain, left to
right, b) do the straight grain side moving left to right, c) finish the other end
grain side, and d) do the remaining straight grain edge.
