We know because all been there that selecting the correct tool isn't always obvious but if user "like in this case" hasn't got clue then they need to at least learn differences between tools and what terms relating to tools mean before ever buying one let alone sticking one in machine.

I could easily ballpark speeds/feeds etc but this isn't really helping the OP. He'll still be clueless to why using HSS rather than Carbide, why 1 flute not 6 flutes. Why 1000rpm when his spindle can spin at 5000rpm. Etc etc.

Likewise it would be wrong of me to suggest absolute speeds/feeds to someone who clearly has Zero knowledge regards using cutting tools, manual or CNC.
Even with users that have good understanding in difference between tooling but limited experience I would only give ballpark figures and then suggest caution.

(Not having Go at you Cropwell with this comment.) But Comments like use "lots of Air" are useful at some point down the road but Air won't stop him breaking tools if using wrong tool at wrong speeds/feeds. For this people need to learn basics before Clicking buy or power to machine.!
