I was talking to a co-worker last week about a kitchen project he was working on. He was making some trim with a router in a router table but having trouble doing it. He was having a hard time hanging onto the boards as the bit was "pulling" them away from him. Climb cut of course!
I said "You're feeding the boards from right to left correct"? He said "Yes, but it's grabbing them and almost pulling them out of my hands". Scratching my head...:rolleyes: After a round of 20 questions about bits, profiles, router speed, wood type and the alignment of the stars I finally figured out that he was setting the fence way behind the bit and cutting the outside of the boards. Visions of mangled fingers popped into my head!:eek:
I got him straightened out but haven't talked to him again to see how he made out. I'm sure it worked MUCH better!
He's one of our computer guys btw and a great web programmer. Really be tough to type with bum fingers...
