How to stop tools from grabbing on my Craftex Lathe?

Why does my Craftex Saw leave ridges on the cutting surface?
If your Craftex Saw is producing ridges on the cutting surface, several factors could be the cause. First, the disk diameter might be incorrect or too large; try decreasing the disk diameter to better match the part you're cutting. Also, ensure the part is gripped effectively in the vise. Reduce the advance and use less cutting pressure. If the disk teeth are worn, sharpen the tool. Check the level of lubricating refrigerant in the tank. Finally, make sure the blade has a larger tooth pitch to allow better unloading of shavings and hold more lubricating refrigerant.

If the disk diameter is incorrect or too large, decrease the disk diameter to match the part being cut.

Why is the board edge curved after using my Craftex Power Tool?
This can happen if the board isn't held with the same pressure on the infeed and outfeed table during the cut; ensure you hold the board with consistent pressure as it moves over the cutterhead. Also, if the board has too much bow or coil along its length, take limited cuts to remove the high spots before a full pass. Surface plane one face so there is a good surface to place along the fence. It should take 3 to 5 passes to get a perfect edge depending on the state of the board and the depth of cut.
Why is my Craftex Power Tool causing chipped or ripped out pieces?
This issue can be caused by knots or incompatible grain direction in the wood. Check the workpiece for knots and grain; clean stock should be used. Also, nicked or broken cutter inserts can be the problem; turn or replace the cutter insert. Feeding the workpiece too fast can also cause this; reduce the feed rate. Finally, taking too deep of a cut can cause chipping; take a smaller depth in cut, especially when using hard wood.
