Using tiny endmills: will they break during probing?

Tips and Techniques
#1

If I were to use a 0.5 mm carbide endmill, would it get busted during the probing? (tool lenght offset probing)

Has anyone tried?

#2

I never had a problem with that when using the correct tool setter like the one built in.

#3

I never thought about it - was already using 0.3mil tools. Finding an acceptable milling speed for stainless steel was a bigger challange…

#5

I had success using 1mm diameter in SS at 70 mm/min. Ramp feed rate was 30mm/min, and plunge feed rate was 20 mm/min. What have you tried for 0.3mm Diameter?
