I do a lot of chamfers like that in chip out prone material and have found saw blades coming down across the material to be the safest way.

Good point Brian. Since this was done upside down on shaper, the shear action was in opposite direction than being helpful.

Tablesaw blade tilted at 45?. The downcut of the blade would have prevented the chip out.

This is just a shelf that goes on top of friends dog crate. I chamfered with Felder 150 mm shear rebate head at 45 deg and got a chip out in one spot. In this particular case, the shelf was elevated by a piece of plywood so the wood was backed up even though there is a gap in the table around the cutter.
Is there a way to minimize chances of this happening, like putting a tape on the surface being milled? I know it is risky to do it on the end grain. Perhaps, I should have done it in couple of passes.
