Re: CNC Feed Rate, and CAM software

Look up feed and speed calculations in your Machinery Handbook, or any online reference.

GWizard is great as well if you're looking for more data (cutter deflection, MRR, HSM calcs, etc).

You might want to jump up to a larger/carbide endmill to avoid deflection in that cut. For a 3/16" HSS end mill taking a full width slot with 1" of tool stickout, you can only take ~0.04" per pass before getting noticeable deflection.
