    Default feeds and speeds for foamular 250

    hey yall,

    Im taking on a big project this semester, im milling out a full scale motorcycle of my design for my last senior studio at CCS detroit. im kind of new to 3d milling and im a noob with feeds and speeds currently.

    so what i'd like to ask yall is what is the most time effective feeds and speeds/end mill combo to use? im going to mill out the bike in sections, using the 2" foamular. i might laminate two together so i can mill 4" each go, with a total end goal of about 18 inches. in other words, a buttload of time. im not worried at all about the quality of the roughing path so long as it doesnt affect the finishing path.

    im thinking i was going to use a 1" endmill for the roughing path and a 1/4" ball nose for the finishing pass, but i feel like i could do better?

    i tried looking around on the forum and i found a little bit but im curious to know the absolute best for foamular!

    any help is greatly appreciated, and i'll post pics when i start milling!
    (if any more info is needed i'll get the info for yall)

    thanks!
