Was looking at the Ekstrom, with a max rpm of 18k. Does anyone know in general the cutting rpm in different types of materials. I know this depends on bit size, but just in general. Thanks.

My Ekstrom is 18K and I've been happy with it (or have not wanted for more)..
Although I have a engraving head for the super small bit stuff.
