Intro and dumb questions about Desktop Max

[WaltzWorks]

Thanks, guys. It looks like I have a little experimentation to do and maybe some shopping while I'm at it!

Thanks Steve, I ramp almost everything so forgot to mention.
Tom, Maybe mess around with some small test pieces with the 61-040 doing everything.
I got some good experience with that bit testing stuff when it was the only 1/8" I had.

Thanks Bob,
Tatum was 4.5X9" and Freestyle Script which looks better pocketed than VCarved.
That was a text test for kid's blocks so would have been 1.75" with a 3/16" R pointed roundover for simulation.
Both in Hard Maple.
Tatum feeds/speeds are closer to what I wound up using on the first test piece.

The 1/4" down spiral with a final pass seemed to really help.

Now onto my next issue... learning to finish!
