I will try this tonight and see how it works. I was feeding the board
in the direction the bit was spinning (right-to-left as you look at
the table). Should I feed against the rotation of the bit for every
bit (big or small) I use?

Yes, ALWAYS. Feeding in the direction the bit is spinning is VERY dangerous.
In addition to the wood becoming a ballistic missile (as you've already
discovered), it can also pull your hands along with it when it launches --
right into the bit.

Doug,

Thank you. I will use all of these tips tonight. Great info... As you
can tell, I am a little green when it comes to routing. Thanks Again.

You're welcome. Glad nobody got hurt -- doing it the way you were trying to
carries a serious potential for serious injury.

By the way... this should all be explained in the owner's manual that came
with your router... :-)
