I was across the room during a long cut with an expensive end mill, I heard the spindle slowing down and thought it was strange to be done already. When I looked I saw the cutter at full depth just before it snapped off. I used a file to remove burrs from the latch and get it to rotate more. I also filed some of the paint and burrs off the housing that it latches into. But I still check the latch constantly for fear it might vibrate open again.
