This may sound dumb, but have you tried the cutting tool upside down???? I
am not sure of this tool but something I have read about some hollowing
tools with cutting edge like a termite tool but the middle was filled and
you adjusted the gap between them. I know this sounds disjointed but
something is banging around in the back of my head. maybe it has nothing to
do with your problem, but I thought I would throw it out there for what it
is worth. (probably not much) hope you figure it out.

I just bought the tool yesterday, tried it out and I'm very
frustrated. If I set the gap very small (1/16-1/32) to take a fine
cut it immediately clogs. This is in kiln dried padauk and bubinga.
It seems to clog in air dried black walnut even with the gap set to
1/4 and this setting is way too agressive for me. I tried sharpening
it with a diamond hone in case it came dull out of the factory, but no
luck. Am I doing something wrong or should I just take it back?
