: Caution: With this tandem router arrangement one router cutter will be
: turning in
: the same direction as the wood is traveling. This is called a climb cut.
: Normally this
: is very dangerous! The wood can be shot out like a missile if not held firmly
: against
: the fence by featherboards.

FWIW
If one router is mounted below the table, and the other above the table, both routers can rotate into the work piece in the correct direction. This is described as a 'sticker' in Ted Moores book 'Kayak Craft' and hes got a picture of it (not so good) an page 48 (fig 4-7)of you happen by a book store or whatever. He also uses a planer to dress the strip and feed it through the routers, but planers are a bit expensive for me...
