Trying to cut Aluminum Plate

Hi all,

I ordered few 6061-T6 (.125" thick) aluminum plates from link below:

https://shop.carbide3d.com/collections/materials/products/aluminum-plate-4-x-5-x-125-qty-5?variant=3608747587

The cutter I have is 3 flute aluminum end mill cutter.
I plugged in the end mill in "Dimensions" as in the screen shot below.
I need some guidance in Default tool path settings.
What should I choose for Feedrate, Plunge rate, stepover and depth per pass?

Trying to cut a simple circle to test the machine.

Thanks all!
