Need help - burning bits and end grain

[rjustice]

Bob,
No problem at all, i just wanted to make sure that there was no confusion on what is recommended for the machine. The down cut tools will pack chips in the cut if it is not going all the way through in one pass. This will cause excessive pressure on the bit, and the machine. It is likely to have problems with bit breakage in doing so.... Upcut is the way to go.

Thanks

Ron

I found my large spiral bits get hot in the CW unit. It may be the chip load. I started to use Plunge cutting straight bits, I buy the 1/2 inch shanks, and they make a better cut.

I just ran another job with the bit listed here and they don't burn the wood like the spiral fluted bits. Thanks. And they are much cheaper.

would like to see a choice if you select hicory over pine the speed would be set the right speed for each.
think it could be done but would take some testing, maybe in the future ?

I would say we have a little machine feed rate with "cut control" and "vector" cuts based on bias of the curve. For raster setting High vs low will slow the CW down. i will take a guess other desktop motors are running flat out at max hp.
