It is very common in maple. Search the newsgroup for old threads on this

angle, are all partial solutions. Somebody also suggested using a
thickness sander for the last part.

Sounds like 1 of 2 things.
1 - the chips are not getting out of the way of the planer blades.
2 - you are feeding it against the grain.

Then we have B - you are using a hand plane and
1 - iron is not sharp
2 - mouth is too large
3 - you are planing against the grain
