: I'm routing 1/4" strips of wood---rounding off the edge and when i get
: to the end of the strip, the router takes a bigger gouge out of the
: strip..seems like when the piece of wood comes off of the fence and is
: only between the router bit and the feather board. it then gets pulled
: into the bit more than the previous part of the strip.
: i've tried back routing and get the same result-i must be setting this up
: wrong.
: what's up with that?

I had this problem... turns out a big part of it was that after running enough strips to do a canoe, my plastic router fence had worn a gouge in it. This was only on one side of the bit... I forget which. But it really made for allowing the strip to twist into the bit for the last couple of inches.

that and my fence boards were setup wrong... looks like you have tonns of advice on that though
