Having problems

I’ve been trying to make compound cuts in 1 1/2 maple but the wood keeps getting burn marks. I’ve tried slowing my feed rate, adjusting blade speed, and rapping the piece with clear packing tape. I can use oak without the burning, but can’t figure out how to use maple without burning. Anyone have any advise.

I use Pegas #6 Super Skip for all my compound cutting.  I just finished cutting 1 1/2" square stock Hard Maple with no problems.

I bought the blades just for this project. Maybe I should have ordered #6’s.
 
I’ll have to keep trying different things. Using a size smaller should be the cause.

The #5 should be fine.  Be sure the blade is sharp.  I use a new blade on each birdhouse.
