New long 1/16" bit

[blhutchens]

Did the bit make a shrill as it carved? Those vibrations make machinery move. I broke my 1/8" deep bit because it shrilled its way out of my ER20 collet.

It seemed to be a normal carve and did not notice a different sound.

Maybe we should carve em in two separate mpc files so it isn't plunging all the way down, or go to 1/2 or 1 inch feather.
I havent ordered another one yet, but I will probably get the 1/8 when I do.
I have the CT and the bit didn't slip. Just the z motor.

I have not even used the 1/16" deep bit yet. I thought I would practice with the stronger 1/8" bit first.

where mine broke was up next to the adapter, so i don't really think the 1/16 would matter
