    That brings you on to the next area you'll need to learn about, speeds and feeds.
    Every cutter will have recommended ranges for feed per tooth, and surface cutting speed.

    From those figures, you can calculate the recommended feedrate and spindle speed, however the recommended feedrate will either be limited by either your machines feedrate, or spindle speed, so a compromise has to be reached. Tooth loading is ultimately king, as too low and the cutter will rub and wear out far quicker. Too high, and the cutter will likely snap.
    The recommended feeds/speeds, are just that, recommended. They are a starting point. As you gain experience you'll learn what works, or doesn't work with your setup.
