Default Burning of the wood

when going across the grain is what I'm experiencing when routing,I've
been
told to wet the wood but this is not an ideal way to route as the wood
will
cut like pulp.

Cant be the cutter as I've changed to a new one.

Anyone experience this and what have you done to minimize the
burning(scorching) of the wood across the grain?

I do know,too slow the glide of the router across the wood has this effect
but dont experience it going with the grain.


Take off less with the final cut and move it faster.
