Dosn't matter, milling is milling. If you are running 94RPM you are beating a dead horse. Feed rates are important but the spindal speed needs to be around 2,500 to 3,000+RPM to do any real milling in AL or Copper. I wish mine would do 6,000RPM it would make life a little easier. If you try and go into the block at that speed you will only be able to take off 1/128" at a time at very slow feed rate. And you will just tear up endmills.

Why 94RPM? Dosn't it go faster? My drill press will do 3,000RPM!!!
