    Yeah, pretty much what Chaz has said, I also have a 2000rpm spindle and usually cut delrin using cutters from 4mm up to 12 mm. I normally cut around 6mm depth @ 600mm/min. I never use coolant, or air blast for that matter, if needed I just follow the cutter around with the nozzle from the hoover
