Engraving steel basics help needed

permalink

What is a good feed & speed when engraving steel? The finished depth is .01. I have a carbide V cutter and speed choices of 2600,4200,6700 and 10,600 RPM. Today, my only V bit snapped its' point off doing lettering at 15 IPM and 10,600 RPM. This is getting costly!
