Default Put a Power Feeder on my Router Table (w/pics)

Evening All,

I have a ton of doors to make and I didn't like the idea of hand feeding all
that material over my router table. I have been meaning to make a new better
router table, but I have just not got around to it, so I brought home a
power feeder from work and just bolted to my existing somewhat down and out
router table.

The router table is the only piece of woodworking machinery that has ever
bitten me and I am leery of hand feeding boards over it. I must say that
pushing the board into the first wheel, and grabbing it from the third wheel
was much easier on the sphincter muscle than hand feeding. Not only that,
but running at 14 ft/min gave excellent quality of cut with a set of CMT
cutters, no burning and no discernible milling marks. Not like when I was
hand feeding, little burn marks when I was moving my hands, or jiggles in
the profile. I am sold on this and wish I had bought one a long time ago.

These are all rough length and some multiple length, I will cut all the
rails and stiles from this stock tomorrow.

David.
