I have a guess, plastic doesn't really chip, so the cutting got too long, then got caught on the jaw of the chuck, pulling the cuttings from the right and spooling it around the work piece and the chuck making a mess
sorry my phone just died
basically what learath2 wrote, cutting polyamide will result in one big string the size of the cutting tool insert depth, so i usually cut with 2/3th of the blade (usually around 6mm in Diameter), so the string was 3mm width, got caught in the chuck, and sliced my hand open!
that's why i hate working with anything else than metal :((edited)
