    The key is you always want to be cutting, never rubbing. This is something that applies to any material you're trying to machine.

    Spindle speed is a product of how fast your machine can move, recommended surface cutter speed (aka the diameter of the cutter), and spindle power.
    Try running some figures through some of the feed/speed calculators like https://app.fswizard.com/

    This will give you some ball park figures, but will still need some experimentation for specific cutters/machines.
