Cutting grooves on router - climb cut explanation

I am trying to describe what a climb cut is and how a lot of us accidentally do one and get into trouble. I hope my explanation helps.

Great explanation! Now if only you could’ve made this video before my boneheaded move 🙄😝 appreciate it bud 🤙🏼

Wish I would’ve known this when I started too. Thanks man!

Is the any added risk of doing the second cut from left to right instead of the right to left motion? Then you are moving against the direction of spin and don’t have to move the fence.

I believe that would work but with the router table I always work right to left. I’d feel like my pants were on backwards if I cut the other direction 😂😂
