I have some small very hard old blackbean boards which are almost the same 70mm width, and wish to trim them a millimetre or less to get them all exactly the same width for box making. This timber is scarce, and I don't want to take too much off.
I have been thinking of reversing the fence on the router table, so that the timber passes between the bit and the fence, as shown in the attached picture below. That way the boards would all end up the same thickness.
Can anyone advise is this is a safe procedure, and what are the things that could go wrong? I would be using a push block on the workpiece, and a feather board to keep the workpiece against the fence.
