    Exactly what I experience with hand held routing.

    Edit: following Wobblycogs' post below I'll have to clarify that by saying hand held routing I'm not meaning with a cnc machine but just with a standard woodworking router or my overhead pin router. In both cases hand holding the workpiece or at least using some hand held push-stick is the correct method.
