I left it at the default 100 in/min. Cut depth was .025" per pass x2 for a total depth of .050"
I haven't done much research on feeds and speeds yet, just kind of winging it at the moment. I have a feeling the estimated time is really optimistic because the acceleration of the machine is pretty slow. I'll have to look in to that at some point...

What is the cutter you are using? Flute count, coating, flute length and overall length? do you have a link to it? Also what is the max rpm that you have? Type of wood? Soft hard plywood?

Easy there cowboy. I think you're more excited about this stuff than I am.
The machine is at my shop space, which is 100 miles from where I live, so I only get to play around with it on the weekends. It's summer though, so there's other stuff to do on the weekends too. It'll be a month or two before I start to get the machine and the process dialed in. For the moment I'm happy just using whatever bits I got from the previous owner or picked up from the big box store to turn out some hobby-grade projects.

It's like having another version of my self talking about it!

Sorry man i'll keep it at bay. I do this stuff every day and still have not lost interest in it. It's what I do for fun as well as a job
Don't sweat it lol
I was irritating him with how much I looked forward to it being up and running, as there are so many things that you can do with it! -
That looks oddly familiar
