Thats not helping the breaking problem. I usually go .03125 on the first pass and .125 on the rest. No matter how big your mill is you don't want to go to deep or the endmill will break. Unfortunatly the endmill is the weak link not the mill in most cases. I can easily break a 3/16" endmill on my tiny desktop CNC mill.
