Spindle Speeds

Your info has been most helpful indeed, I am now getting a lot more out of the Machine.
You may be able to help me with one more set up, I have to cut some aluminium for some face plates, can you please give me some starting points. Thanks

Ahh now you are moving into a much trickier area to advise because many more variables come into play. The machine strength and material grade play a huge part as does the spindle quality and you will very much need to feel and ear your way thru this one.!

I need more info to help.

Material grade, Cutter size, # flutes, HSS or Carbide.
