thank you . may i make a suggestion on transferring hole locations use transfer punches they come in sets . tap em do not smack em . then follow up with a prick punch
it worked out great!, i was a bit concerned until i saw the featherboards 😄, as you say a few tweaks , the top pressure from another featherboard is a good idea, and you can run yards of moulding, id try putting a small slot in your table and adding a blunt point of hardwood, or a small bearing, you can tighten down to apply a little forward pressure at the point the moulding contacts the bit , but i call that a success✌
THE ROUTER BIT NEEDS TO BE UNDER THE LEVEL OF THE TABLE OTHERWISE YOUR TRAPPING THE WORK PIECE BETWEEN THE BIT AND THE FENCE/TABLE! This could cause the work piece to be ejected like an arrow from a bow. Perhaps show us the table once you have used it and figured it out fully. You were right to be a little fearful of that setup.
I agree with you, but for the profile I need to make and to make sure the material does not shift when routing I needed to put the router bit on top. If I did it the other way the material, making the wood piece stable, would be routed away and the stock would rotate when routing. I do have feather boards in place helping to prevent kick back. Thanks for your comments.

I like the idea of using bearings, I will have to give it a try. Thanks for the idea and your comments.
