I have a small and a mid sized bench mills.
The small one ate itself even when running at 1/4 of what a program suggested for aluminium, and that was only at a 1mm doc with a 8mm cutter!.
I still haven't even got fully to grips with SFM, DOC, WOC, Feed, Chip load, etc... etc.... Then you have cutter material to take into account. Then there's flute count....
