    Yep, small cuts, especially the final cut you should just take a shaving.
    I used routers for 27 years making furniture, kitchens etc. If you were around the corner I'd be happy to help.
    A router table can be a great help, especially when working with small profiles.

    Steve, I can count to 30 without using my toes. Talk about vibration , the Taswegians have nothing on me.

    That makes it sound as if you are recommending moving the router in one direction then in the other direction.

    Surely that is not what you mean!

    yep, been doing it like that for years, small cuts. When I was signwriting full time I used to hand route timber signs and you cant cut the shape of any letter by going one direction. the secret is only take small cuts. I agree that there is pull and push etc on the router but a steady hand and small cuts will overcome that.
    cheers
