I do a lot of pocket cuts with a 1/8" or 1/4" end mill. I cut a lot of HDU foam signs. I cut at 4 ips. The little problem I'm having is the cut leaves some different depth cut marks that are sometimes difficult to sand out because its close to the raised letters and scrolls. I cut with the raster so it is at least horizonal.
Is there something else I could do to make a better, smoother background? Sometimes I put a V Carve woodsie texture in it.
