I have been making a new chair design on my Shopbot for several month in Alder. A new customer wants the chair in Honduran Mahogany. It is much denser than Alder. My composite nailer does not work very well in the 1.25 inch thick material.
In alder, I cut at 6 ips, 14,000 rpm and take off a quarter inch in each pass. I'm cutting profiles with a 3/8 endmill and mortise slots with a 1/4 inch endmill.
Do I need to change these parameters for Mahogany?
