NOOOOOOO! Use the table boost and keep your cutter under some extra wood. One pinch and the whole shebang comes in the direction opposite the rotation if the cutter is above and open. Not to mention that the front of the panel is the view side, where consistency counts. I can pass right over the cutters with the panel and my hold-downs when it's beneath the wood. Can't feed that consistently or positively with that big whirring mess staring at you in the middle.
