The spindle will turn the cutter at 15,000 RPM. It will travel through the aluminum at a speed of 270 inches per minute while cutting .25" deep. It will cut its full slot width of 1" with each pass. While toolpath specs sound pretty simple when translated... it is an art to decide on these specs. It will have dramatic effects on the lifespan of the cutters which are very expensive, the quality of the surface finish left behind, and how long the part is in the CNC for. It is IMHO that the hardest part of running a CNC, is picking these specs. Choose poorly, and you can snap off a $200 tool in seconds.
