Hello all, I'm loving my Axiom and these very helpful forums.
I am starting this thread in the hope of tapping into the experience and knowledge of forum members, to create a go to place for your speed n feed settings.
As a guide only, this information would be extremely useful for us CNC newbies.
I do understand that the variables are unending but seeing what works for you would be very helpful.
Thank you all for any info you can provide.
Axiom novices everywhere really do appreciate it.

$270 seems expensive? Is that what you use?

$270 seems expensive? Is that what you use? I think they're way too expensive. I've never liked the way they make the prices hard to find, and the immediate pop-up trying to send you push notifications. Too scammy for me. The tool makers (bits) give you most of the information for free, including free chip calculators. |

No, I don't use it. I have several burned bits because when I started, I was turning too fast - stayed in the 300 to 350 range on my variable frequency drive, which is the 18k to 21k rpm range for a 1/4" bit cutting oak, maple, walnut, and cherry at a feed rate of 50 ipm (default feed rate). When I finally figured out my rpm was too high, I slowed down to around 250 (15k rpm) and speed my feed rate up to 100 ipm. That seems to do much better. I've only recently started playing with feeds and speeds in different types of wood.

Might take a while, but I'd check the bit manufacturer sites and start slow... slowly work faster and faster until you're happy with it that's what I did.

I Thank you gents.
Please help me understand why the lack of enthusiasm from other axiom owners to provide some settings, at the very least as a guide or starting point?
Some Vcrave bit settings screen shots for a given material would be a tremendous help.
Again, I thank you both for your input.

Ok, you asked. First off I'm very conservative. For V carving, I run at around 80-100 in./min. on redwood. Knock on wood, I've never had any burning, 2 years running. Often, I'll run the toolpath twice, to clean it up a bit.
