TBH I don't have anything specific to achieve except light work on wood, mostly 2.5d or some 3d plaques, so I was not looking for high speeds or big cuts. That said now I have got into the hobby a bit more I find that I do want to go faster certainly would like to be at 45mm/sec as I am conscious of the electric bill as well (yes laugh :-) ) but as all my work is for charity fundraising it eats into the money I can give out if I have to start covering the bills, so the High-z out of the box really fits the bill.
Changes I would like......well back to my original speed if possible, a quieter router (currently a trend t4), it works lovely but dam its noisy and it goes through the house, and I need to make a better extraction at the cutting point as the one I brought with the machine does not do the job it really needs a proper skirt.
So all in all I don't need a lot, I will get some more details on current setup and post to see if that offers up any more info.
Thanks

This is another common mistake made by new users and what annoys me so much about theses low spec machines that can't reach correct feeds for what they are advertised to do.
The feeds are really dictated by the material and cutter your using not your preference or desire to be in rush or not. Also 3D work (dispite what you see there's really only 2D or 3D) often means high feeds rates or/and fast acceleration because of the small moves with light DOC or tiny step over amounts.
Cutting slower just costs you more money because of excess tool wear and leaves poorer finish. It also as you say cost's more in electricty and time.
