Does the tool length or stickout make a difference??

The overall length of the tool assembly changes the frequency at which it will vibrate. A shorter tool will have a higher frequency. The longer the tool the lower the frequency. Boeing recommends holding stick-out to within 0.010" in order to retain stability. Another rule of thumb is to hold the stick-out to within 1% of the tool's diameter
