Jogging

Bewdy thanks for that confirmation, actually learned a lot during that process, must fit limit switches, paranoid about driving it out of the side

Thanks heaps, cheers

Glad you are back on track. Have fun.

For reference I cut at 80 to 150 inches per minute, depending on material. Approx 2000 to 3800mm/min. 

Optimally cut speed is based on a formula related to spindle speed, bit diameter and material hardness. Or whatever approximation you have to do given the capabilities of your machine.

Whereas I tend to cut at 50 to 80 mm/min. But that is because I have a 1000rpm spindle and I am generally cutting steel. 

I have fswizard on my phone, and find the numbers in there to be about correct.
