I keep simplifying the project to figure out whats causing it. I have attached the project file with everything removed except the cuts that cause the breaks. I have tried cutting the project just like this last night and broke another bit. Sometimes it breaks during one of the cutouts, but this last time it did the two full cut throughs, but then broke the bit during the .25" cut around the top edge of the one piece (arrow in pic).
I am now out of bits, and really do not want to even order more, unless someone can give me some idea why this is happening.
Thanks for any input.
you have to have it cut 1/4 deep at a time like 3 pass to cut it out
