What size bit do you typically use? And another ignorant question: As the bit will have wood on both sides, which direction do you move the router? I'm going to guess that it doesn't matter, but that I should keep it consistent.


IIRC I used a 1/2" bit. I went counter clockwise for a lazy Susan piece
that I did a couple of years ago. In your case I would go clockwise.
You typically want the bit to be cutting away from the piece you want to
keep.
