This was one of the few times that I violated the normal rules of using a router.
In this pic, the left side is normally how a router would be used, if the bit is rotating clockwise, then the router should move from right to left, based on the red arrow being the router direction, and the black arrow being the rotating direction of the router bit.
However, since the walnut that I am trimming, is very thin, there is very little danger of the router bit grabbing the work, and pulling itself into the work.
However, using the example on the left, it is very possible to "chip" the walnut.
What I did was go the opposite way. (right side, router bit direction is black arrow, and blue arrow is router direction). I had no problems with the router grabbing the work, and pulling the router forward, uncontrollably.
If I was cutting more thickness than the 1/32" - say, 1/2 to 3/4", that would be an entirely different story. In that scenario, the router will grab the wood, and pull itself into the work, which is NOT a good thing. Be Careful!!!
