Machine Resonance

15 and 30Hz sound like the belt system resonances to me so those are likely aspects of the machine.

Have you tried tweaking the feed override up and down when they occur? Frequently a non-resonant mode is not far away.

I’d agree with Nick, shallow depth with wide engagement and fast feed is the general way to get fast material removal on a Shapeoko type machine. There’s a pretty solid body of evidence for that now.
