I did eventually figure out to go a certain way with the router, kind of like feeding a table saw it's best to do it from a certain direction. And yes, I may have been cutting too much. I had purchased a few bits, but I may also have used bits that were my grandfathers. It could have been that I grabbed something that needed to be sharpened.
