    What I am doing wrong?

    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?
    Thank you, Ed.

    Slow down your feed rate.

    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

    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.

    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.
