Noob alert - 'Starter for 10' feed rates for MDF

[HankMcSpank]

Thanks...I'm using a Dremel, because...

1. I'm unfeasibly tight & happen to have a Dremel sloshing around.

2. At this stage, I only intend cutting 2-3mm Perspex (guitar bits & bobs)

As it goes, I do have a great 6.35mm Trend router - but it makes more noise than a Iron Maiden concert....& I'm trying not to draw attention to myself making things in my unconverted loft (the health & saftey officials would spontaneously combust if they caught whiff of my workshop)..therefore I'll go with...

3. My Dremel is relatively quiet.

I really only need to cut this 12mm MDF as a 'one off' (to make a Dremel holder), then it'll be back to girlie plastic for me.

So, has anyone ever used a 3mm endmill/Dremel combination that can give me some approximate cutting speeds to gun for? I'd rather not have the endmill snap & randomly whizz about the room in search of my flesh. Like I say, even at the slowest speed I got the willies ....perhaps it was just becuase the sight of a power tool precariously clamped to the Z plane, spinning at 10000 rpm while having a table with 12mm wood clamped to it moving around beneath it is new to me, but I had an overpowering urge to cower & stand in the farest corner like a complete wuss (& having urgent pangs to take up used bus ticket collecting instead of doing things that can cause severe loss of blood).
