I just went through this learning curve 2 weeks ago and I'll share what helped me.... I'm using a router bit in the drillress.. I turn the blank, cut the waste square thats on the mouth side and leave the tail square on.... I'll go to the drillpress and do a deep mouth, then belt sand the angle.. I can do a mouth in soemthing like 1 minute or 2.... I think that if you start the mouth when its flat it wont zip around on you, but be careful of that bit cause its sharp!
