I have been experiencing issues with my VSPP. My large blades and extra skate came with chip deflectors, so I ended up with two. The chip dheflector does not seem to prevent the mouth from clogging, almost immediately. I sharpened the blade but, the 1/2 blade and extra skate seem to clog very rapidly. It seems difficult to make minor adjustments to how much wood I am attempting to remove, which may be the issue. Maybe I am missing something in set up or use of this tool?
