Newbie,
Dose anyone know what setting should I be using when trying to cut the juice grove on a cutting board on Carbide Create.
Here is the one I used last week and had good success. YMMV

Your original question is using a ball nose bit. @Maverick54 suggests a bowl bit. A bowl bit would be better than a ball nose because it will need to make fewer passes and you get a flat bottom. If you get a bowl bit be sure to get one without a bearing or remove an existing bearing. CNC machines and ball bearings dont mix well.
Depending on what machine you have an SO5 can plow through pretty quickly. An SO4/3 should be done more slowly and less step down on each pass. The SO4/3 are belt driven and a 1/2"-1" bowl bit is plowing a lot of material at once. Err on the side of caution with belt driven machines.

I personally would and have carved trays using a 1/2" bowl bit and always use conservative settings. Bowl/tray bits are very aggressive. These are the settings I use:

@gdon_2003 Good catch Guy, I didn’t pick up on the difference in the bit choice in the title.
Thank you for the information.
