Basic Direction of Feed:

One of the most important operations is the direction of feed. You need to understand this basic procedure for your safety and project quality.
Basic direction of feed is moving the material into the cutter. To get the fence on the right side of the cutter you need to be able to see a carbide profile of the cutter. Our first project is going to be a set of coasters, and we are going to make these coasters out of MDF. The purpose of MDF is to allow us to concentrate on direction of feed and not add the order of cuts into them.
The order of cuts are across the grain, with the grain, across the grain, and with the grain. The importance of this cutting order will reflect on the quality of your routing technique.
So let’s get started with this project.
I could call this an April fools day joke a post with no tip. Truth is I have been playing with the auto post feature and got the wrong date set up in the system. In any event I am not ready to post the meat of the project just yet sorry for any undo excitement at this time.
It is nice to know you guys are watching my posts.
Here are some of the comments…
All of your hints are excellent. I am having trouble with your new system. When i try to register I am told I have registered, but when I try to use the system, it looks like I am not registered so I give up. Bill

A brief (5 words or so) next to the episode would really help.
