Hi there! I'm doing a project with my students that requires a great deal of pocketing at 1/2" deep. We're using MDF. To save time, I'm setting the cut depth at the full 1/2" so it does it in one pass with a 1/4" end mill. Is this smart? How fast or slow should I set the feed rate and spindle speed? I'm using a SB Desktop with router. Any advice is welcome. Thanks!
