Recommended plywood cutting feeds and speeds
These feeds and speeds are only valid for cutting plywood with 2-flutes compression carbide endmills.
| Diameter (inches) | Diameter (mm) | Spindle RPM | Feed (ipm) | Feed (mm/min) |
| 1/8″ | 3.175 mm | 14 000 – 18 000 | 120 – 160 | 3000-4000 |
| 5/32″ | 4 mm | 14 000 – 18 000 | 140 – 200 | 3600-5000 |
| 1/4″ | 6 mm | 12 000 – 14 000 | 240 – 280 | 6000-7200 |
Please note, that going slower than recommended will most probably overheat and permanently damage the endmill. One overheat is enough to make a carbide endmill blunt and useless.
