I haven't googled this one yet, but is there a table somewhere for
feedrate vs diameter and cutting depth?

There's also RPM and number of flutes that need to be considered along
with diameter.

Thanks, that narrows it down :P

I'm at a bit of a loss as far as how to price cnc work. There's
design time and that's straightforward enough, but what about running
time on the cnc?

Most of the guys I know doing custom CNC routing bill somewhere between
$50 and $75/hour for machine time.

Great, so the robot makes more than I do. Well, I suppose it's more
accurate and doesn't spend half the day putzing around when it ought
to be working.
