I am having issues with blow outs on squaring my wood pens. I am using a steel cutting bit and it doesn't seem to want to cut the wood and when it does it catches and blows out the wood making the blank unusable. This bit works just fine on my acrylics so I am a little confused as to why it doesn't want to cut wood.
Is the carbide bit any better at cutting wood? I am at a loss here as I am tired of ruining material that would have made a beautiful pen.
