I've watched several "router" videos. When I've used a router in the past, I eventually figured out the correct way to run the router (against the spin). But based on the videos, I was clearly cutting too much with each cut. I've seen a guideline to only cut half of the size of your collet in one pass. Since my old router was 1/4" collet, I should have stuck to 1/8" cuts. I feel certain that I've done cuts that should have been 2-3 passes in a single pass, and probably even worse when using the router to create a dado groove.

Things that make you go "hmmmm."
