Collin brand new cheap can be part of your problem. I had that happen to me about two weeks ago. Another thing is use another piece of wood right behind the piece your routing. That should solve the problem.Building 3 corner shelves. Giving each a profile.
The first two went fine. But the third .... The bit grabs and tears it up.

What am I doing wrong, or is there something else?

Typo. It's # 25454 cove and bead.
It happened two times on the same board.
After the first time I trimmed the bad part off with the band saw and tried it again with less angle. In neither case did the bit hit the end of the board.
What I think happened -- the larger boards had enough grain in both directions that I was going off the end grain toward the grain so there was nothing loose to grab. Like going around a circle on a larger piece of wood. This problem was on the smallest of the three so there was nothing like the end grain starting point to physically absorb board's stress.
Looks like the best solution will be to make the third, smaller shelf a large shelf then trim it down after the rest is done.

So tonight I picked up another piece of wood just to get the process going again. Restlessness.
This piece worked just fine, like the first two.
And wife has been using Golden Pecan stain on oak around the house so she tried it on the poplar. Looks good and will be a suitable tone match with other things in the house
(As much as possible I eliminated the green parts of the poplar.) So don't just paint poplar.
The Craftsman bit remains sharp. I do wonder who's product they private labeled. It's not a bad unit , not like the stuff from HD.

For this kind of application (profile on the diagonal - bearing guided - no fence) I typically profile first and cut second...saves me the headache of figuring out how to apply a backer board or deal with start and stop...and the corners come out really crisp and clear after the cut... (decorative cleats, outside furniture trim, etc...)
Nothing new...guessing you already know that...
How did you get rid of the poplar green...?
