I just speed it 17000 for hard wood and 18000 for very hard wood /ipe and ebony/ and slow at half the feed for phenolic. This is not flat V cutter, its a spiral one.

The profile was done by my favorite 1/4 3 flute straight Kyocera bit at 16000 rpm and 90IPM. i am running short of this one unfortunately, so have to search from where to buy more, cause Drillman1 sells overstock so not always has what i like.
The pictures dont do justice to the perfectly polished bits that last much more than say Freud or similar.
What type of paint would you recommend for painting pine?
Also where did you get that vbit cutter from? Really nice clean engraving

Hi,
I did it with acrylic at the time, but now i don't do it that way. I use acrylic only when client wants as cheap as possible and only for inside. Normally i do it with 2 component industrial polyurethane when for outside.
I don't use that V bit anymore. Instead i use CMT 90 degree insert V bit. For 60 degree i use the pyramid 6mm bits from China, Aliexpress.
