4) diameter of cutter too large for spindle motor torque
5) cutter teeth too dull or damaged
6) profile of cutter giving too much linear contact with teeth

Other:
7) if a variable speed spindle motor, running at too low of an RPM
8) If you are running a manual mill on a static phase converter it loses 1/3 of the hourse power.
