Bingo!

I just cut the DR200 butt cheeks, both panels together (BB), in one pass with a spiral upcut. 1/2" shank and cutter.

My line of thinking was removing the cuttings from the work as I progress around the circle. I make about 3 passes and increase the plunge depth at each pass, to avoid stressing the bit.

I'm sitting here scratching my head trying to figure why I did that, even though I don't remember doing it twice....

I can't help but notice you're using carpenters glue, will you be using PL Premium for the next build?
