Max, I have a Freud fixed base router with a table. I haven't done any hand routing, yet, but instead, used a table. If I understand the instructions right, when hand routing, the router moves from left to right. When using a table, move the wood from right to left. As you probably already know, this has to do with the direction the router bit spins. I have better luck routing with the grain. Going against the grain can tear and chip the wood, a bit. I don't know how one knows what speed to use. I think if the bit turns too fast, the wood can burn. I have forgotten what happens if the bit turns too slowly.
