Ryan, that can happen from the angle of the skew to the wood as well. If you're "scraping" and not cutting you'll have some tear-out. And your tools will dull quickly. Numbskull recommended a book , "The Practical Wood Turner" by F. Pain. It's a treasure trove.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
