Router Feed Direction
Router Feed Direction - The force is not with you. It tends to bounce erratically or walk out. I have an old craftsman 315.17461 router (from the 1980's!) and the instructions say to move the router in a clockwise direction when routing an outside edge (see attached page). The router is much more difficult to control in climbing. Going around the outside of a work piece, you go counter clockwise. The back of your hand represents the router, your palm is the base plate, that is to say it is the part that would be touching the wood.

The router is much more difficult to control in climbing. Don't imagine you can muscle in to dampen kickback manually.
So, feed direction reverses also. This technique causes a bit to pull you in the rotation direction.

Your thumb points at the work piece edge and your index finger points in the.

Router Feed Direction - The climb cut method is more suitable for mechanical feed on a shaper. On a router table, bits spin counterclockwise. But this appears to be contrary to everything i read on the internet, which says outside edge routing should be done in a counterclockwise motion. It tends to bounce erratically or walk out.

Going Around The Outside Of A Work Piece, You Go Counter Clockwise.
The normal feed direction is against the rotation of the bit,which means on the outside edges you would move the router counter clockwise,on the interior move the router clockwise. If you do it palm up it would be a table mounted router. It tends to bounce erratically or walk out. On a router table, bits spin counterclockwise.
The Opposite Of Normal Feed Direction Is Called Climb Cutting.
With the router in its normal position the bit turns clockwise,upside down table mounted it turns counter clockwise. Don't imagine you can muscle in to dampen kickback manually. This technique causes a bit to pull you in the rotation direction. Used my router table for the first time recently, making some simple cove molding.
