I recently tried putting flutes in some Red Oak using a 1/2" round-nosed bit and got lots of burning at the ends of the flutes - no matter how quickly I tried to back-off from the finish or start of the flutes. The flutes were only about 1/4"-3/8" deep, so I did them in one pass. Sanding all the ends was a real PITA, so is this typical or is there a solution? The bit was one that hadn't been used before.
