Has anyone successfully used the default settings on the Amana 1/4” O flute endmill when cutting acrylic? I also saw the series posted by Winston but the suggested settings were based on a 3-flute cutter.
For the 1/4", I drop the RPM to 8000 - 10000. Keep the feed at 120 ipm.

Thanks Tod. Do you keep it consistent for different toolpaths (pocketing, contour, etc.)? Also, what about plunge? I have a SP Pro XL.
I try to ramp when possible. Plunge you still don’t want too slow. At least 30-40 ipm.
Yes I try to keep it consistent. I adjust depth of cut & stepover based on material removal.
