What was that programmed in? Aspire ?
Is it flat, it looks curved ? Giz the code, i might cut this in gold, well brass anyway worth more than gold.John S -

Ta, got it.
Also found the DXF for it.
Translated onto brass at 120mm round 20 degree V carve it says 2 hours 57 cutting
90 degree cutter is 1 hour 43John S -

Probably got it twice.
I think 20 degree will cut a bit too deep? I doubt the time estimates will be anywhere near unless your machine acceleration is exceptionally high. Still it'll be interesting to find out.

If I remember right thats roughly about what it took me when I did it.?? But it's been that long since I did it I can't remember.
Like Jon says 20 deg will cut deep but I'm sure you will have sussed that and limited it's depth.? I've seen a nice one done with aspire that cuts the bottoms of deep area's flat and rest Vcarved.

Just make sure whatever you use is ground to a sharp point. Some spot drills still have a web so you need to be careful.
I tend to regrind my 6mm single flute cutters back into the same cutter. Something useful to do whilst the router is running.
