I'm wanting to use my router with edge guide and also my router table to cut mortises for loose tenons. Please help me get this right the first time:

1. If I am routing a mortise with edge guide and the edge guide is at 12 o'clock, do I cut the mortise from right to left or left to right to ensure that the rotation of the bit keeps the wood tight to the edge guide?

2. If I am routing a mortise on a router table with fence and the fence is at 12 o'clock, do I cut the mortise from right to left or left to right to ensure that the rotation of the bit keeps the wood tight to the fence?

I know that this sounds pretty elementary, but want to make sure that I am getting it right and not fighting the router.

Thanks for any help and input.

With fence - right to left, with edge guide - left to right.

Or the other way around :lol::lol::lol::lol:
