Was surface planing with a 1-1/4 surface planing router bit from Magnate. I've had this bit for at least 12 years, it was a great bit. That is until it threw a chunk of carbide off at 18,000 rpm. I didn't hear anything, but the router started shaking a little bit.
Just a gentle reminder to give your bits a good looking over before you use them. I hadn't seen anything wrong with this one before I started, and the walnut I was turning didn't have any metal in it, so I guess it just finally had enough.
