Cutter
When you feed the cutting bit too slowly, the
rotating cutting bit does not cut into new
wood rapidly enough to take a bite. Instead,
it scrapes away sawdust-like particles. This
scraping produces heat, which can glaze,
burn, and mar the cut in the workpiece and,
in extreme cases, overheat the cutting bit.
When the cutting bit is scraping instead of
cutting, the router is more difficult to control
as you feed it.
With almost no load on the motor, the
cutting bit has a tendency to bounce off the
sides of the cut in the workpiece, producing
a cut with a rippled finish instead of clean,
straight sides.
