Do you have a downcut bit.
It will cut without chipping the top edge.
It mat not be popular in a mostly woodworking forum, but is very common on a CNC forum.

Hmm - may not be the best idea on a handheld router.
In an UPCUT bit like most are(in std woodworking) will pull UP on the wood and pull the router towards the wood.
A DOWNCUT bit will push down on the wood and push the router away from the wood.
GREAT cutter - slices downward so it shears the top much better.
On a tiny cut like 1/8 the force would be really small.
