wood corners chipping

I'm still in the learning process with my Shapeoko 3 but have so far been fairly successful minus a few small hickups along the way. One thing that is starting to bug me is that not matter what I try the corners of my solid wood parts always chip away as the tool cuts around them. I'm not sure exactly what I need to adjust to try and solve this issue, is it a depth per pass and feed rate problem, or is it a setting like "outer corner mode" ... or maybe I need I higher quality cutting tool (I'm currently using the ones sold by carbide 3d). 

 

Anyway thoughts on the matter would be helpful!
