question before buying one thanks
it's not really a problem I do it all the time. You can use any speed
if you are not cutting the edges. just use HSS endmills.
you want to rig up dc so the dust does not get where it should not.
it does not really fly around though.
but what are you trying to do? maybe a cnc router would do it
better?
Also, 3000 RPM would be a limit for an old CNC knee mill or similar, any
newer VMC has a much higher top RPM.
