Settings for 1/16 bit

Mostly Printed CNC - MPCNC Advice
1

I did some searching but didnt find what I was looking for, I’m about to run my 1/16th bit from Ryan’s shop for the first time for some fine detail in a pine union, my mpcnc is a 30x30 build space using the 660 for a spindle, just trying to figure out a decent starting point without breaking the bit, am I starting it too aggressive with a 1mm doc and 5mm/s feed? I’m sure I’ll break bits just trying to not start too low either

Thanks!!

That seems conservative enough to me. There will always be a risk of breaking it though.

I run a 1mm bit and 300 500 mm/min at 1.5 to 2 mm doc all the time but I have broke 2 or 3 at random
