So you can see where this is leading...

I hit a fixturing bolt with a 1/2" carbide end mill at 8000 rpm in a CNC machine once, which made a lot of angry noises as it exploded into thousands of pieces of shrapnel. It was not fun.
Same thing, except not minor in any way. 2.5" carbide insert facemill spinning at 6,000 RPM straight down into the top of my vise at 1,000 inches/min.
