I was going to do a few bottle stoppers with some black palm that I have. I've never turned palm before and it's giving me fits. LOTS of tear out and I've wasted two blanks so far. And I'm ready to toss the remaining blanks in the trash. The tools are sharp, I'm taking nice light cuts. But it keeps tearing out. The lathe speed is 1800 rpm. Any ideas on what the problem might be?
