似乎当我使用路由器时,它们似乎总是在切割的某个点烧毁电路板的边缘。我相信我正在以相对均匀的速度切割(尽管这显然是主观的)。我的路由器位相当新(明智地使用),所以不应该沉闷。我想知道正确使用路由器的正确技术是什么?
我想知道的一些事情是:
- 您是否应该使用路由表而不是锁定电路板并徒手使用路由器来获得更好的结果?
- 旧路由器与新路由器位
- 路由器的速度(或功率输出),有影响吗?
还有什么可能相关的吗?

Depth of cut tends to be one of the most important aspects to using a router that is often overlooked.
Generally speaking, you're better off taking very thin cuts when using a router. This allows for consistent feed speeds without bogging down the router bit speed.
If you're working with woods of varying density (ie. knots in the wood) then you'll want to size your cut depth based upon the worst case of what you expect to see.
The balancing act is taking lots of thin cuts takes more time and we often want to move on to the next portion of the project. So sometimes you cut a little deeper and take the risk of scorching, knowing that you'll have to sand that out later.
To address some of your questions:
Should you see better results using a routing table instead of locking the board and using the router freehand?
A router table can provide better support for the material so you'll have more consistent results. But some pieces won't fit on a router table and you need to go freehand instead.
- Old vs. new router bits
Age of the bit isn't as much of a question as sharpness of the bit. Given that older bits tend to be more used and therefore less sharp, newer, sharper bits are the better way to go.
- Speed of the router (or power output), does it make a difference?
You need to adjust the speed of the router based upon the size of the cut you're making. Big bits need to be run at lower speeds. Smaller bits can be run at higher speeds. The primary concern is the friction generated between the bit surface and the wood.
Big bits run at high speeds generate more heat from friction which leads to a greater chance of scorching the wood.
The direction of the cut makes a difference. Normally we cut against the spin of the bit, clockwise on the inside of a frame and counterclockwise on the outside. If you are concerned about burns, you can go with the spin of the bit(a climb cut) rather than against it. It's even more important to make shallow cuts with this, because a deep cut can make the router try to run off from you, or "climb out" of the proper position (hence the name).
A safety note regarding climb cuts: This is for hand-held routers only. Do not perform climb cuts on a router table as it may yank the workpiece away and pull your hands into the spinning bit. With a hand-held router the worst that's likely to happen is you have a little scalloping to remove
Other than that, sharp, clean blades, a lower spindle speed, and shallow passes are all helpful in preventing burns. Keep your feed rate steady, lingering will cause burns as well.
And because the internet loves list, here's
Rockler's list of ways to ensure a good cut:
An oft overlooked reason for burning is excessive pitch build up on the bits. Use a bit cleaner (I use Simple Green) and nylon or brass brush to clean the bit and it will cut much cleaner.
The type of wood can make a difference.
For instance cherry is a wood that shows burn marks more readily than other hardwoods and is great for testing other means of preventing charring mentioned in other answers, i.e. depth of cut, direction of cut, dull or dirty bits.
