      Thanks! Yeah I’m always a bit wary of running these bits too fast, I’ve broken far too many lately, but I’ll max out the rpm and see what happens 🤞

        Your average woodworking router is already running at something like 20k RPM for ~6mm and larger bits. High speed should do fine on wood, at whatever feed rate doesn’t burn it. Maybe just use light passes to save your endmills.

        That said, I am most assuredly NOT a CNC machinist, just a nerd with woodworking tools and a couple of low end maker devices that run gcode.
