In routering out a slot radius with a 7/8" core box bit, how deep
would you recommend to remove in one pass...

1/16 to 1/8.

Wood would be cherry or mahogany.

You want to move quickly to avoid burning. A deeper cut means moving
slowly, which means burning...

This is a bigger issue with cherry, which burns essentially instantly,
than with mahogany. Also, cherry has a tendency to chip out/tear out/
do nasty things if you try & cut too deep (and the forces get too high).
Mahogany doesn't do that. So you could be a bit more agressive with
mahogany, if you choose.
