Re: cnc3018 (bCNC) bits break of all the time
As ger21 wrote, check your depth of cut and feed rate.
From your writing I'm guessing that you are mechanically etching PCB. With tiny engraving bits you cannot mill too fast. And bCNC is only a front end for Grbl, arduino based controller.
Have you calibrated Grbl, ie checked settings?
I've tested bCNC/Grbl combo against Mach3, on same computer, and I'm very pleased with Grbl performances. Using it mostly when laser engraving with 2.5W blue laser (Grbl has 'laser mode' which I do like a lot).
Make no mistake between my personality and my attitude.
My personality is who I am. My attitude depends on who you are.
