Default Mortising machine--what am I doing wrong??!


wrote:
I have a newly purchased Delta 14-651 hollow-chisel mortiser, and I am
using the included bit set.

No matter where I set the bit clearance, no matter how fast/slow I feed
the bit, and no matter how deep I go per pass, my bit clogs with
material almost instantly.

...



Is the bit oriented so that the chip ejection slot empties into
the part of the mortise that has already been made?
