I have a a variable speed router (on a router table). I purchased a
set of molding router bits. When I place my 1x4 on my table and feed
it to the bit... the router will violently take the wood right from my
hand. I have the router set on the lowest speed possible and it still
"shoots" the board 10 feet away. I almost took my dad's head off!!!

Any idea how I can control the board so I can get a clean, usable cut
from the router and bits?

The router bits are approx. 3 1/2 inches in hight.


Feed the boards right-to-left across the router bit. It sounds like
you're feeding them in the opposite direction, which results in a
"climb cut", which as you've discovered is very dangerous.
