Should You Rout Clockwise or Counterclockwise?

Should You Rout Clockwise or Counterclockwise?

When routing, does counterclockwise movement mean that one must turn the router in a counterclockwise circle as one is moving the router forward along the edge of the wood?

Carol Reed: No. The router is simply moved in a counterclockwise direction around the perimeter of the wood.

John Swanson: The correct direction of feed is into the rotating router bit.
