Feeds & Speeds for 30 degree vee bit

I just bought a Spetool 30 degree vee bit and am trying to put it into the CC tool library. I went to the Spetool website for feeds and speeds and this is what they have. The bit I have is the .005" tip width.
I think the diameter is .250 and the included angle is 30 degrees. I need plunge rate, cut depth, stepover. It looks like the feed rate is 90 for soft wood and 54 for hard wood; does that seem right? I guess I also need a 3d feed rate. Is there a better way to find this information?
Thanks

I forgot to upload the feeds and speeds from Spetool’s website.

I go by CC’s feeds for the same tool. As I use it I may up the feed (usually do) I have found CC feeds for V bit to be very… conservative

I use the 30 degree all the time. Still pretty conservative, I usually bump it up at least 150%.
