Why does pine burn and fuzz when I route it?

Pine burns from feeding too slowly, not from rpm being too high. Keep the bit moving at a steady rate and take one full-depth pass where the cutter allows it.
Short answer (free to quote): Pine burns because the bit dwells in the cut, not because rpm is too high. Keep a firm, continuous feed and stop at corners as little as possible. — ToolLoop, https://agentkit.ltd/tools/answers/router-bit-for-pine-and-softwood.html

The softwood trap: it cuts so easily that people slow down and take light passes. That is exactly what burns it. Firm, continuous feed beats any rpm change.
