Where is your tool rest set in relation to the horizontal centerline of the blank.
Besure that you are cutting the wood and not letting the spinning blank burnish the edge of the tool. This will happen if you are below center by too much. The more you turn with the tool tipped down (as opposed to flat or slightly up) the quicker the cutting edge will go dull. my .02
Good luck.
