long bit and flex shaft

[Rkoonz2]

Are you carving with the grain or across the grain? 1/16" deep bit or 1/8" deep bit? I know that carving with the grain with the 1/16" deep bit can cause problems. When moving to the right, the bit can bend into (under) the grain and cause a y stall. (This is why we cannot use the 1/16" deep bit with the rotary jig.)

thanks for responding. I was carving against the grain. 1/16 deep bit. in a pine 2x12 from lowes.
