Infinity Premium Glass Door bit set. The stile bit cuts a very thin slot forming the back of the frame, then another very thin bit is used to make a second cut to remove material to form the area for the glass and to make a small glazing strip to hold the glass in place. Problem, even on lowest speed setting and moderate smooth movement these tiny bits overheat. Anyone else experience same with this or other glass door bits?

material is Walnut
Bits are new and I always clean my bits with Orange bit cleaner and brass bristle brush
I am using Porter Cable 7518 mounted in a table. This router only has 5 speeds, I am using the lowest setting with is 10,000
I am an experienced although amateur woodworking and am only biting very minimal amount 1/16 or maybe a little more because of the material which is prone to burn
I have not used a bit with only 1/32" cut before.
I may have to use a router with a slower speed, or I may try cutting with table saw using thin kerf blade
