So a big thank you to all who chimed in on my question! I learned several things from your replies. Among them was the obvious that my sawtooth edged holes really were a problem....
I also learned there are some good options available for me to try different bits. I also heard that my Avery tool with a three flute cutter should give me good results if I use it properly and possibly ?break in? my cutter or replace it, if required. I also learned that I should try going much slower.
Based on all of this advice I decided that I would start by trying to make my existing tool work and then move on to trying replacement cutters. I very carefully ran the top edges of my cutter across my 3M cut and polish wheel to try to clean up the edge. This seems to have done the trick. After a gentle brush across the wheel and spinning very slowly I get this:
I am thrilled with that result and thanks again for all the input. Vans Airforce is a truly remarkable community.
