Default Jointing On A Router Table - Can't Keep Even Pressure

When jointing on a router table, the fences are *supposed* to be mis-aligned.


Correct!

The out-feed fence is supposed to be about 1/16" closer to the operator than
the in-feed fence.


Correct!

The bit is then aligned flush with the face of the out-feed
fence.


Correct!

I'm suspecting the two fences, outfeed and infeed, are not parallel, despite their being offset. They are not exactly coplanar. They need to be offset and they also need to be perfectly coplanar.

I suspect your hand movement is giving you a misjudged idea of why you are having the bump. It's not your hand movement that's the (main, if at all) problem. Check to make sure your fences are coplanar, despite their being offset.
