Slot Cutter Routing Direction?

I am just about to cut the slot in the side of a new console to mount
the t-molding using a Craftman router. What direction should I run the
router around the control panel?

Actually, both ways.

Thanks, I didn't want to ruin the panel at this stage.

Always push against the rotation. Don't let it pull you, you need to
push it. Just like a circular saw

It doesn't matter... the router turns several thousand times per second...
any motion by you is insignifigant compared to the speed of the cutting
heads.

though it DOES go easier in one direction then the other.
i just go the way it feels easier.

test on a piece of scrap.. since you need to adjust the bit depth anyway to
center the slot.
