Just need some advice on feed speed. I have a three flute up cut to cut our staron with. What is a good feed speed to run this. We had it at 500 and then slowed it down to a 280. Broke the bit on that one. Thanks for the help, Darren

What diameter is the bit?

Oh my gosh. Thanks Kerry. I am using a 3/8", 3flute up cut. Thanks, Darren

Darren,

Going by the Vortex chart for Solid Surface for a 3/8" 3 flute your feed speed should be between 240 and 300 with the spindle at 10000

With the spindle at 12000 you would have a feed speed of 288
