When I took it apart, I noticed that some of the chips were packed under the chip breaker but only on one side of the blade. When I removed the chip breaker from the blade there were chips under the right side of the chip breaker, but none under the left half.
What needs to be don to stop the chips from getting under the chip breaker?
I think the following youtube movie can help you: link.
You can also see this link as it is basically same contents but including the reference for the famous Japanese video on the effects of chip breaker on the plane cuts.
