I know to move the router counterclockwise (left to right) when routing along an outside edge.

I know to move the router clockwise (right to left) when routing along an inside edge.

Now, I have attached an edge guide to the router base so that I can route a groove in the center of the board (plywood). I have two choices in maneuvering the router.

I can stand 'behind' the router, pushing the edge guide OR I can stand in 'front' of the router, pulling the edge guide (the guide attaches to the 'back' of the router). Which stance is best?

Which way is the router suppose to move, left to right OR right to left?

Hope this makes sense to someone out there!!

Thanks,

TJ
