What I am doing wrong?

[Eduard Nemirovsky]

I am running stile router bit- Fraud, brand new, on shaper with feeder. Wood is ash. After 6-7 pieces, I slowed down to stop my bit with every piece.
Check belt - very tight, check bit - tight too.
How to do this without stalling?:confused:
Thank you, Ed.

Slow down your feed rate.

[Bill Dufour]

Your bit is running 1/2 or less of designed rpm so slow down the feed rate to allow chip clearance. Do you have some chip extraction running either vac or dc?

Bill, I do have chip extraction.
Thank you, I am going to try with slowest speed rate.

I hope you mean feed rate. Don't slow down the bit rotation.

:)) - for sure feed rate not speed.
Thanks, Ed

I discover reason for my failure - bit failure. Carbides completely broken from stile bit - ouch.378373378374
Time to call Amazon.

Dang that's scary.

Pull up yer shirt to see if yer belly has any small punctures.

My Dad lived his life w a chunk of mushroomed chisel head in his belly.

I'd be on the phone directly w Freud real fast.

Mighty big hole there. You'll need a big board to be stable.

[Darcy Warner]

Typical frued carbide. I threw all mine away a couple years ago after loosing a chunk or two.

The bit failure might have been due to overfeeding it. Running it in shaper with a power feeder probably was not something it was designed for.
