What am I doing wrong???
I found one of these bits and tried it today. The only thing I succeeded at doing is burning the wood and making a TON of smoke!!

Am I spinning it too fast? My drill press is running around 3700 rpm (I believe) Any suggestions?!

Slow it down some Bob? I run mine about 2750 if I remember right?

If it still smokes it's dull and no good...was it wrapped up or was it loose?

After the shows I'm going to get the stuff together for the group buy.

It was in a hard plastic case and not touching anything. I'm wondering if I'm running at a higher rpm. Maybe I'll try it again today slower?!
