Is it possible that cutting alloy too slowly can be that bad for tools?
Like, how bad if so?

YES! Found my problem! (I still say Alloy may be too hard.....)
I am trying to use an advanced function on my Haas.
I am defining "tool groups" that consist of multiple identical tools.
When tool life expires, the CNC Controller goes to next tool in that tool-group.
So, in my post....I call for a "tool-group", and not a specific tool position in the tool carousel.
Like this.....
T1302 M6 (G-code for grabbing the current tool being used for group # 1302 (3mm with 0.2 radius corner)
I then, have post go to sub-program that uses the Renishaw tool sensor to measure the tool.
Like this....
G65 P9853 B1. T#3026 (go to program #9853, which is one of my Renishaw programs to measure tool, and B1. is for length measurement, t#3026 is whatever tool is in the spindle. Not a particular tool, or group....just whatever is in the spindle.)
After measurement, the post had the following wrong code.....
T1302 M6 H1302 D1302
This called for the measurements of Master tool in the group, and not necessarily the tool currently in the spindle. So it was correct for my first day of milling, but then after I swapped tools the value was now wrong.... H1302 was the length value of Master tool in group 1302 and D1302 is the diameter.
I had to change that line to....
T#3026 M6 H#3026 D#3026
Now, the program is going to run using the values of the current tool in the spindle.
Don;t know if you guys followed this or not, but now is correct! YEAH!!!!
Tool changes now go like this.....
