    Advice needed feedrates etc

    I have a 909 x 600 tabletop router. It has a fairly decent spindle on it (water cooled)

    Now here's the bit where I open myself up to ridicule and damnation. This is only the second part I've produced with cnc. I know it's not as strong as a mill but here's what I'm cutting and the rates etc.

    6061 aluminium.
    6mm end mill carbide
    68 mm per minute feed rate
    .65 overlap
    Spindle speed 6000
    1mm depth cuts

    I know it's slow but at least it works lol. Is there a table or program I can use to shed light on my haphazard techniques?

    Ok fire away....

    While changing my operation from contour to hatch I missed changing the depth setting. As a result I found out that in fact my little machine will do 5mm depth cuts with .65 overlap.

    Feedrate and spindle rate remained the same.
