I recently bought a new chamfering router bit
that has a wheel as a pilot instead of a solid
cylinder that turns with the bit. With my first
chamfering bit I got to where I did not scorch
soft woods any more, but I still got a glaze on
the wood from the pilot turning and sliding on
the wood. 

The new bit costs four times as much as the old
one, but I hope to be able to bevel the yards and
yards of maple that I wish to without this horrible
glaze. 

Incidentally, the bit is made by Makita, and it is
carbide tipped. It is a lot sharper than the (Vermont
American) high speed steel bit that I used before. 
The brand name probably does not matter (?).
