We’ll cover the components of feeds and speeds—feed rate, spindle speed, chip load, and depth per pass—so you can learn how to determine your own settings for a variety of bits.
If you don’t want to watch the full video, here are some helpful resources:
Bit and material pairing photos (samples of different materials carved with different bits)
Carving Bits 101 support article
Calculating feeds and speeds support article (includes diagrams for each variable)
Using feed rate override in Easel
Introduction to v-carving- (understanding why v-carving is different)
Using v-bits with Easel Pro (helpful photos about v-bits)
