Try using a different insert more suited to hardwood.
Make sure the turret is resting flush on back material being framed.
Problem:
Mats or framed material buckles after being secured.
Solution:
Let the turret rest gently on back of material when inserting points.
Do not angle inserts down to “pinch” material being secured.
Problem:

Solution:
Release pressure by squeezing lock plate on the foot and swivel foot
to clear moulding, then withdraw turret in opposite direction of insertion.
