Thomas,
Normally, I would think the same thing. But I have the PC 690 router (fixed speed) and was only plunging 1/4" into the MDF. No matter how slow I tried to turn the router using my circle jig it bogged down and burnt the MDF. I even adjusted the plunge to a more shallow depth with similar results. If it had been the first time I'd used a router I'd think I was doing something wrong.
I think I merely got a dog that slipped through QC. I didn't mean to imply that all of their bits are junk. But re-reading my post I can see where someone would think that. Like I said, the other Viper bits I have used were and still are fine.
