Let's say I'm cutting a dado using my router by hand against a fence clamped to the workpiece. I have the fence to the left of the router, as I'm pushing the router away from me (this tends to keep the router against the fence). If I need to take a second cut to widen the dado, do I:
- move the fence further to the left, and widen the dado to the left, or
- move the fence to the right, and widen the dado to the right?
It seems to me that number 1 is correct to avoid a climb cut, but this seems to contradict the pictures in "Woodworking With The Router" by Hylton & Matlack (see page 230 - Fractionating Baseplate).
Thanks,
Steve
