Feeds and speeds. Some tips for a newbie please!

For me, Id run max spindle speed. So 24K, Id start with 1500mm/min and work up from that. For shallow cuts you can probably go faster but 1500 - 2000mm/min is decent. How accurate do you need and how much material are you removing?

Hi Chaz,

24k rpm and 1500mm/min, sounds crazy fast! (comming from a manual knee mill!)

Only a 0.1mm-0.2mm cut.

How much slower would you go with an HSS cutter of the same size?
