The CNC Cookbook have a bit on this:

which we discussed a bit at:

SO 5 PRO feeds and speeds on hard maple?

I am working on 3D carving and want to do it as fast as possible. I know how to test this, but first, I would like to know if anyone else has done this. So SO 5 Pro with VFD. First rough cut with a tolerance of 0.015. Then fine cut Spetool TBN W01007 1/4 shank and 1mm diameter. And here with poplar, I got up to 100 ipm / 50 plunge rate, and with 19500 rpm, it worked fine. I am pretty sure they can go higher, but I stopped there. Now I am going to use hard maple. It is definitely harder, but ma…
