I think it did break because it hit the sidewall just from what I could see and hear when it started finish tool path. Maybe I can try to take a router and clear some of it out before. I think part of my problem is that Partworks 3D is pretty limited. Might be time to invest in some more software. Most of the time I'm only cutting 2d parts for cabinets and countertops.
Do you think if I change my speed and stopover settings and re run my file I'll be able to salvage my initial roughed piece without seeing a line where the first cut quit when my bit broke? I am also really hoping my local rep has a replacement bit so I don't have to tie up my bit waiting to finish a project I started.
