Sounds good to me. I was going to say I'll have 3 but didn't want to sound greedy :lol: I can buy them today - no doubt they will take forever to arrive. They shouldn't cost much to post. There's also 25mm long for £4 more ... not sure which to get as the 22mm will be stronger, but 25mm might be useful...

Ok then, I've just checked the Gcode and it was actually 5mm per pass, not 6mm as I thought. I'll try less next time.
I was using 2500mm/min and 18,000rpm ... that makes the chip load very low which I suspect was what caused it to break. It broke when I lowered the feedrate to 2000mm/min. I think I'll try something like lower rpm but keep the same feed next time to reduce the heat.
