Maybe it is a case of a stuck shank, one of those annoying things that happens once in a while. I might try removing the tool from the toolholder, in preperation for the tool dropping out of the spindle. Place a piece of 4" foam or something below the tool for it to drop into, then press the tool release button and hold it in. Take a soft face hammer and give the toolholder a little rap on the side of its nose, to see if it will dislodge due to the shock.
