@731woodworks: The biggest router mistake beginners make… Going the WRONG direction. If you cut the wrong way, the router will try to pull itself—and you lose control fast. Move against the bit rotation to stay in control and get clean cuts. 👊 This one tip can save your project.

Except most beginners are using framing lumber with weak grain and you should take into account the grain direction in the ends to prevent tear out.

Or, you look at the router and it shows a partially circular arrow that shows you which way the bit is spinning, then slide the router in the opposite direction. However, climb cuts give the smoothest surface, so make one final pass taking off the final 1/32 with a climb cuts give you’re not taking off enough wood for the router to grab
