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.

Thanks.

Are you feeding the board into the cutter (right-to-left) as you should
be? If that isn't the problem, try making shallower passes. Using a
featherboard setup might help also. Another thought: you're not feeding
the board between the bit and the fence, are you?

Yes, i set the depth with the fence and feed the board between the bit
and the fence. I was feeding the board from right-to-left (into the
rotation of the bit (counter clockwise)).

Heehee! Oh, sorry. Uh, don't do this. Tom
