Hello All,

I did some of my first dado's with d-handle router. Most of them came
out wiggly.

Any tips to avoid this?

It seems like during the routing process, it's not entirely smooth
sailing.

I was routing 3/4" oak ply, across the grain. The fence was smooth
aluminum, so no problems there. Fence was on the right, if that
matters.

Routers, on their own "want" to go left, sooooo .. .. I always try to
run the router along the guide in a way that makes it pull itself into
alignment. It sounds like you did it the other way around.
