How to Prevent Sticky Router Bits

I’ve seen about a zillion methods for un-sticking router bits. Why don’t we prevent them from getting stuck in the first place?

The collet that holds the router bit usually slips into a tapered hole in the router motor shaft. If this hole is lubricated with a bit of paraffin (canning, candle, etc) wax the router bits rarely get stuck.
