Re: Speeds & Feeds & Deflection, Oh My!
Don,
Don't forget about spindle horsepower and torque. This can be a limiting factor with larger bits and heavy torque. We have no trouble at all bogging down our 2HP Porter Cable router, even with 1/4" bits in wood.
Generally speaking, lighter faster cuts seem to be preferred over slower heavier cuts.
