I've recently upgraded my router table with a new router and dust collection, and my first test project was to rout the edge of a piece of 3/4 ply to fit into a 1/2 inch dado. The plan was to set the fence 1/2 inch from the bit and use the router to trim off the 1/4" (approx) leaving a 1/2" rabbet.
The problem I had is that when feeding the board into the cut, the plywood chipped out badly. Reversing direction, in climb, the router yanked the work piece from my hands and destroyed it. Not good.
I was using a 1/2" bit. What am I doing wrong?
