Yes, you are pushing against the spin, I found that the combination of the Safe-t-planer and my home brew version of the jig, works a treat for me, you do have to keep the feed rate constant and make sure that the work is tight up to the fence, I attach short strips that need sanding to a piece of 18mm MDF with some double sided tape, I find it's a lot easier to feed the work through the jig.
BTW the dust extraction is mandatory, you would not believe the amount of dust this type of jig chucks out, I was in a hurry to try it out for the first time and didn't attach a hoover BIG mistake, the surrounding area including me looked like an explosion in a flour factory! I use a workshop hoover attached to the dust hood which works really well.
