I read that you can set the chipbreaker by tapping it in until the shaving curls backward instead of forward. Well, until the shaving doesn't really curl at all---it just shoots out of the mouth over the blade instead of forming a curl in the throat.
I tried it out and it seemed to work. It may depend somewhat on the thickness of the shaving. I think thicker shavings are more likely to be straight.
Has anyone else heard of or experienced this? Does anyone know the proper way to set the chipbreaker?
