Laminate, dados and router problems?

Hi

I'm currently trying to make some 3/4 dados in a piece of laminate (see link below) and I'm having A LOT of problems while making a slot that is about slightly more than 1/2 inch deep. I'm using a dewalt router with some bits (see link), I have tried adjusting the speed from from 4.5 to 6 (27000 rpm), BUT I still get the same results. The router either skips from the guide or just makes a horrible screaching noise. I though it might be the orientation of how Im feeding the router but this is compressed wood particle which has the same grain direction from my prespective.

In general I need some advice on how I can make this process a lot easier. Also I'm taking a 1/2 inch deep cut all at once and I have tried taking less material but I still get the same problems.

What I'm cutting:
