Hey does anybody have a speeds and feeds chart for various different materials that would be for the shepeoko 5 pro?
To my knowledge, not really. The usual recommendation is to use the tool library in carbide create and watch Winston’s material Monday videos.
I’m sure other folks will chime in with links and such but I wouldn’t expect a nice concise spreadsheet or infographic.

Speeds and feeds are based on the endmill and not on the CNC machine running them. Most reputable endmill manufacturers have a downloadable S/F chart for various CAD softwares on their website that you can download and copy into your tool list.
Like Tyler says use the recommendations in the CC tool library. They are conservative but you can adjust S/F based on how they work for you.

That’s far from factual.
Go run a belt drive shapeoko 3 and you’ll
Learn the steppers don’t have the force at speed required to hit Chipload of most 2 flute bits.
The machine, and its weaknesses when using a hobby machine, area very large factor in speeds and feeds
Not sure whats far from factual… the fact that manufacturers don’t make endmills based on CNC machines? I haven’t seen a endmill manufacturers website that states something to the effect of “this endmill is for use on only a Shapeoko or Altmill or Longmill etc etc.”
They provide speeds and feeds for the endmill and that’s why my comment was “adjust S/F based on how they work for you”

I have a SO 5 Pro.
For Pine:
.25 EM .125 DOC 100 IPM
60 V bit Same
30 V Bit .125 DOC 60 IPM
.125 EM .0625 DOC 40 IPM
Hard Wood
.25 EM .125 DOC 60 IPM
60 Degree V Same
30 V bit .125 DOC 45 IPM
.125 EM .0625 DOC 20 IPM
.75 BOWL Bit .0625 DOC 80 IPM
You can push the pine DOC up to .25 DOC, but I don’t.

DOC == Depth of Cut

What rpm do you do those at
What are you asking?
If you’re just starting then use the speed and feeds that are the default in Carbide Create. Once you get used to using the machine you can adjust the speed and feed and depth of cut based on your experiences.
