The plastic part of the bit was flush with the collet when tightened.
I am thinking this was just a fluke with the bit. I’ve been cutting since mid March without any issues at all
I bought a bit, 3/16th with a 1/4 in shaft, works great

I can now ploughing out using 1/2 shank mill bits. Love your boxes…care to share the easel project if you did not already?
I’d prefer to keep the design private.
I’m basing my business around designs like this and even though it is simple it is a money maker for me. I’m sure you can figure out how to build one similar.
Collet adapters are pretty much junk as well. I would buy a collet for each size bit shank you plan to run. Its worth it.

Copy that
Any thoughts on sharing that box design publicly?
Gonna guess no.

Yep, have a look a few comments up.
I wrote up the basics of designing boxes similarly at:

just needs one to convert the finishing pass into a pass with a ball-nosed or bowl cutting bit.
