I hit a rock about the size of a golf ball, nothing super hard, kind of a decomposed lime stone. Well blades spinning at 4,000 rpm have no mercy. The rock was pulverized with 3 hits that sounded like 1 and left 3 nice chips taken out of my blade. I filled them in with L56 wire and CO2, the damage was not in line with where blades are known to crack and break.
Definitely worse damage than normal speed blades.
