I would expect to pay that price for a steel bit.
Adam,
Hey so all the feeds and speeds stuff is all good and proper if you spend the money and purchase cutters that come with a spec sheet. If you are tight like me and like to look for the cheap options, on sites like Aliexpress, then these cutters don't come with any specs or support.
Well I managed to find a cutter that works wonderfully on my DIY router. I run it at 15000RPM on the spindle and a feed at 800mm/Min

It cuts beautifully and just hums over the work taking out 0.5mm at each pass.
So. How about you guys? Anyone have a supply of a good alloy end mill less than $10??? And if so, what feeds and speeds do you run it at?
Keen to hear.
Boyd
