Hey Everyone! I just had the pleasure of burning a hole through my work piece and into the sacrificial table (vacuum hold down...). I am cutting 3/4" furniture grade Pine plywood with an Onsrud .25" compression bit. I have a PRTalpha with a 5hp Colombo. The feed rate is 6" per second & rpm is set to 12,000. I have been trying to cut 6" letters out of the 3/4" furniture grade pine plywood. The problem is I keep getting smoke every time I try to make a cut. I have fried two bits and burnt a hole in my table.... any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Sal
