I have a low-cost CNC (X-carve) that has serious stiffness problems that I don't want to fix. Adaptive clearing has allowed me to do far more successful cuts in reasonable time.
I've never broken an endmill. SOmething else gives before the endmill (I use carbide mills on hardwood). Belt tension, the belt itself, the wheels, the clamps, etc.
