Router Chatter
I have a PC 3 1/4 hp router mounted in a router table. When routing an edge with a 1/4" Roman Ogee bit I am getting occasional chatter. The bit is nearly new and the work piece is securely held down. The routed edge shows no evidence of chatter. Any ideas as to the cause?

3 things I can think of. Speed of bit, speed of feed , to big of cut, 1/4 ogee should be ok. If hard wood I usually try to do it in 2 cuts. little bit at a time.

Are you routing in the correct direction? For normal cuts you want the cutting edge to be pulling the work into the bearing, and not do a climb cut:
