Hi
I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on a Shapeoko. I have a project in mind that involves aluminum, if it works out I would probably be cutting aluminum often. I've looked at the carbide speeds and feeds guide and it recommends speed 1.5 on dewalt dial i.e. +/- 17k for cutting aluminum. SuperPID seems to enable speeds as low as 5-6k rpm. Is carbide3d recommending that speed b/c it's best case scenario for included hardware? Would slower speeds help with cutting aluminum?
thx in advance
