I settled on a chip load of .0016 rpm 19700, feed 63ipm .2 stepover and plunge of 15 (wanted to be rather cautious on plunge). I attempted two doc at 1/8 and 1/4. I got nice clean cuts no chatter.
Nice clean cuts! Straight cutters, unlike spirals, don’t try to pull-up or push-down the wood or it’s grain. What were you cutting with which router on what size Shapeoko?
s3 xxl using the Carbide compact router. I have the Dewalt. Bought it for the s3 earlier this year in anticipation of buying my s3 but then the black friday deal came and the compact router was included. sweet!
