cutter breakage

Well that is a sad thing to happen.

The spinning cutter(s) have to be able to clear (cut) the material away.

If the cutter is not spinning (ie stationary) with a depth of cut and the work piece is fed into the cutter something is going to break. Which is why your cutter broke the spindle speed wasn't fast enough for the the feed.

So spindle speed is important with respect to the feed.

If it is a HSS cutter going too fast will cause heat and blunt the cutter.

Still sorry your cutter broke.
