That's odd we are milling all the time at 18K RPM with 200-400ipm with half and
3/4 collets without any problems. (We are cutting wood and MDF.) I have had a
lot more problem with 1/4 collets and tools pulling out than with the bigger
ones. I have never had a 3/4 tool pull out, half inch in
mdf being the key word there is no long grain structure to pull the
tool with i would have to say aluminum or lead is the worst about
pulling but i doubt many are milling lead . also you cannot use high
