Day two of learning to run a shaper. The compound has a tendency to drop down, over-feeding into the work. Gravity? I've tightened the gibs to where it's rather stiff, maybe they should be loose? Or is the tool digging in and pulling it down? I'm using a toolholder with built-in rake, the finest crossfeed and .005" - .015" DOC in steel.
