Start light on the cut and low on the feed rate. If you have a CNC Mill go with the defaults in the CNC program. The nature of what we mill for robotics allows us to go a little slower than a full production shop. So it takes 10 minutes per part longer to go slow, we are only making 2 parts not 10,000. Take your time, enjoy what you are doing and remember the lowest feed rate on a mill still beats a file.
