very new to this very dangerous tool--have about 1/2 hour use with it and

I have to route out a 3/8" deep grove apx 4" by 18 "

problem I am having is after the first few inches the router is now only
resting on 1/2 the platform and it rocks forward and does n asty things--i
hve larned that you have tto set up guides with this thingh

is ther some sort of attachment that would fit on the base of the router
that would act like a footing and is adjustible so i dont have to keep
foolin with placing guides?


I'm a novice with the router but I have been learning from the forum
(takes a long time to scan 100,000+ messages ;-)
If your workspace has room for it, another piece of wood the same
thickness as the piece being routed (long enough to be out of the way)
makes a good support for the "other half" of the router. Usually only
a couple of simple clamps are needed to keep the support piece in
place.
