It looks like the speed and feed may be a bit off!
Anyway, I thought I'd share an interesting tool failure. I was surprised the tool didn't break and continued to run. It "calved" about 1/4 of the tool but still kept going. It was sparking like the 4th of July in the machine. I think it'll polish out with a few buffing pads....

That would make a great paperweight if it wasn't so sharp at the edges...

 

[DudleyDR]

Ouch! That's hard to look at!

 

[hardheaded]

Nice ! it all starts with a microscopic chip on a cutting edge
The CNC can outperform us manual Neanderthals on all levels

Except this one

 

[Sniper_M-14]

A little Emery cloth and it will look good as new!

 

[POLACK]

You could stone the rough edges down, and make it work...

Does the non-skid finish cost extra? Been there, done that.

 

[IRON WORKER]

I'm surprised that the load limiter didn't shut it down, You must be babying your tools.

WOW In the mid 80's I a ran CNC's and wrote some programs and did set ups. Did the computer fail or a tool change that was not zeroed, I have also saw the same thing when an offset was made and .200 was entered instead of .002, happened all the time with new guys. Some CNC drill bits and end mills are desinged to run with out coolant, I have done it many time with TIN coated solid carbide tooling. For the CNC guys, after I got out of machinist school I cut my teeth on a Warner Swasey WSC8 then I ran Okuma, Fadale, Gleason Phoenix, Daewoo, Mitsuiski, and some others I cant remember.

I don't see the problem. Nothing a coat or two of paint would not fix.
