Speed and feed...

Interesting, ME Consultant is written in iBasic. No dll's, no install, just click and run. I've never heard of it locking up a system before. Once you unzip the file, run it from that directory. It has a couple of support files, but they are just the tables for materials and cutters.

I have had trouble with ME 2.0 freezing but ONLY when I am using my CAM at the same time (VisualMill 5).

I would imagine MCs F&Ss are only a very basic start point.
As I said before, every manufacturer of cutters has different recomendations for every type of cutter they make and these also change with every different coating.
Your cutter salesman should be able to supply you with appropriate info (if not get a new supplier). Calculate your RPM then figure feedrate by multiplying out using your appropriate chipload.
