So I was profiling with a .75 endmill and the retention pin snapped off causing my tool holder to fall out and chunk up the spindle seat in the process.
I am assuming I was being too aggressive with the cut. In hind sight I should have done it in multiple depths but with less than 1/6 of the endmill diameter engaged I didn't think it would be that big of a deal in 6061. Pretty pissed though as not only is it going to cost me a ton to fix but it cost me a job too.
