Is this normal?? The worktop is a B&Q Ebony black gloss.


No. Immitation marble is the most common.

Funny, I didn't think I'd posted this to cam.misc
(kind of place where that sort of response is practically
mandatory).

Yes.. Know what U mean

Alright - is this normal, peculiar to B&Q worktops, or
peculiar to me and my router (or more likely my technique).


Well there is some friction going on no matter how sharp the blade so
heat will be generated so a bit of smoke/steam is to be expected.

Didn't rent the cutter from Ridgeons by chance?, I know someone who did
and they had to go back a couple of times before finding a sharp one;(
