Hi I was doing this raiders thing, and when trying to pocket out, using a .125 end mill
it went for about 15 seconds and the bit got pulled out, I believe I tightened it good

@brothergreg
Are you using the Shapeoko with the 1/8th precision collet or a reducer insert ?

Ive used both with no problems, but make sure you’ve got enough tool in the collet, you need at least .5" in the collet.
