Routin-roundover bit use help.
Hello, i recently started to use a roundover bit and sometimes when i do my corners it seems as though the bit will kind of grab more material off than the rest, it only happens on corners. Any tips?

Take lighter cuts until you get the hang of it

I agree with the others - lighter cuts and better base support will help with your problem.
You might also consider a different base - an "offset" base that gives better support in those "hanging off the cliff" operations. I use a Pat Warner base on one of my routers for that type of work.
