Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. It turns out my cutoff tool was
flexing. I guess I'm going to have to buy something thicker. The thickest
I have found is 1/4".
I moved the tool I have until only about 1.5" stuck out, and could cut .010
to .015 per rev., no problem at all. It just made beautiful curls. Oh, and
I stuck with automatic feed. I would imagine if I tried to hand feed, I
would have problems with jamming around the tool like Tee-Nut implies. It
cuts so well on auto feed, I don't want to do it any other way.
