Surfacing neck, some rubbing, surfacing bit not meant for hardwood, must use planar

Edit- So the surfacing bits aren’t meant to surface hardwoods, it may work for a few but I’d have to get the higher end bits with removeable blades. What I should get is an electric planar. I also have an ancient 16 inch planar that will work.

Surfaced my neck to about .92 inches. Got a ton of rubbing going on. But it is super smooth. Changed by chipload from .019 to .025 by increasing feed from 100 to 134, Same lines, just spread out more, should try 50 percent next time and adjust chipload to .02 or more. Also lot of rubbing on corners. So maybe try different toolpaths that don’t have that cornering at the end going over same cut spot causing excessive heat. Will try different tooling operation in rhinocam or may extend boundary, not sure if that will work on neck though because of long length.

Also thickness was a little thicker towards the lip sticking out past wasteboard, probably due to the chatter of nothing underneath to support, it wasn’t by that much, cutting that part off anyway. Definitely can’t have this rubbing burn on body surface. Don’t think it was the tool either, seems pretty sharp still.

Also maybe make another wasteboard for the neck. May try .5 wasteboard. Think my inserts will fit. Forgot to order M6 screws though. Will order those.

Also noticed that my gcode was fucked up a little bit. The step cut of .02 was changed to .03 also noticed my cuts on first cut where not straight at one section. See if I could reproduce. Maybe some rounding tolerance shit going on. Maybe I fucked up the gcode post processor when editing? Revert to default, see if causes same issue.
