Shapeoko 4 XXL + Amana 45224 1/2" MDF Feeds and Speed?

[OSLO (Ole Steen Larsen)]

Using Amana 45224 1/2" to pocket 16 of 25 mm. MDF. What Carbide Create settings should I use ?

[CullenS (Cullen Simpson)]

Amana publishes pretty good feeds and speeds. Look at the PDF linked from here: https://www.amanatool.com/45224-carbide-tipped-straight-plunge-high-production-1-2-dia-x-3-4-x-1-4-inch-shank.html

usual disclaimer: while the Amana feedrate/RPM values are indeed usually quite good, their recommended depth per pass values tend to assume professional CNC machine with lots (and lots) of rigidity (which enable deep cuts)
The Shapeoko4 XXL is more than rigid enough for its intended purpose, but you may find that in some cases using their recommended values as is can result in pretty aggressive cuts
