I'm having a problem with tear out's when routing smaller patterns through pine (dragonfly is an example). Where the two wings come together to a point (where they meet at the 'body' area), I'm getting pretty constant tear out of the point of wood.
I'm using a spiral upcut bit for the cut but it doesn't seem to matter how slow I go, I still get occasional breaking off of the 'point'.
Any suggestions?
Note: I've tried plunging completely through and also taking stock off in small progressive cuts. Same end result.
Thanks.
