My experience is about the same as Dertsap. 40 IPM using a PC690 and a straight 2 flute cutter for sheet or aluminum cutting end mill for thicker stuff. DOC about .05. I spray WD40.
I do think I will be doing this anymore though. I now have my mill running. I really didn't like to see those shiny little chips flying into the router motor. I didn't have any trouble with it, but kept it blown out pretty good.
Oh and she does get mighty warm doing this. I never ran it for more than about 10 minutes at a time.
