Is the brass tube already inside the blank?
Depth of cuts vary. Blank is either not true or sitting on a bias.
Well if you have used purpleheart before you would know it is an oily very dense wood and any cutting tool will cause heat from the friction and it will smoke. I always had a hard time scrolling that wood that I rarely do it any more. It burns the cuts. It will dull cutting blades very fast as well. The thinner the blade and less set in the teeth will really have problems. many many other woods out there that will do the same.
Looks like the saw blade is on backwards
Of course backwards is relative to rotation...not enough data to determine that...
The blade is on backwards to the feed direction. Shucks, I have done that on a table saw before!
Ahh, I posted this from seeing page 1, while the answer was on page 2.

How do you know what is the feed direction. As I shown in his other picture the blade is the same way.
If he started the cut from the open end and wet toward the headstock than yes. If he started at the headstock and worked out then it could be the other way.:biggrin: Now this is with the router on the side of the work piece as he shows. Put it on the other side and all reverses. Having fun yet.
Well I guess he will not do that again. :biggrin:
It is only backwards if your spindle only turns one way! Other wise just reverse the spindle
It's hard to tell on my monitor screen, but are the blade and arbour off vertical, so that the blade can't make true perpendicular cuts to the axis of the blank? If so, how are you holding the arbour - what fitting does it have, MT, R8, a chuck?

The depth is a little off but I can live with that .
That's not the problem. I am talking about.
