There's something that just strikes me as wrong with the innoledy, it gouges REALLY quickly, and that yells "ripping" to me.
I glanced through the manual for the iNNOLEDY machine. He recommends four passes at four different settings, the last one being a hairsbreadth. Probably has better end results than you think. He also says you can gouge 8000 pieces before you need to sharpen the blade.
There are many, many factors here, all of which will have some effect on the resulting piece of gouged cane:
o wet or dry
o both blade angles - leading and following edge
o hardness and sharpness of blade
o The bed profile
o The blade profile
o Single radius or Double radius
o The speed of the cut
o The depth of the final cut (or of all the cuts?)
o The quality of the cane (of course. Who could forget that?)
Robin, I'm sure you can add more to this list. I deliberately did NOT look at your website before I wrote this, to avoid undue influence. In any event, this is a huge problem with far too many variables. I strongly suspect that the only advice that can be given is:
o Find something that works for you
o Don't change anything
