Today I was cutting 5/16 rabbits in 23/32 plywood on my router table. On the 3rd piece I noticed first a lot of smoke, then actual burning wood. Not exactly flames, but fire red. I shut off the router then shut off the dust collector. Was very concerned that the collector bag would suddenly erupt into flames so I as quickly as possible removed it from my dust collector. Emptied the bag and ran the dust collector to clear out any remaining embers. Seeing none I put the bag back into place and assumed the fire was out.
Since this was my third cut with all settings and feed rate the same, I assume there was just something weird in the plywood?
Anyone have any idea what happened?
