We did a similar BP to what we've done the past few years.

What is your material and thickness, cutter type, spindle speed feedrate, and stepover?
We are running 1/8" thick 6061-T6 plate with a 1/4" 3-flute ZrN coated variable helix endmill, 16,0000 RPM, 30 IPM, 35% stepover, dry cutting, and it's cutting nicely. We tried pushing it faster and did not have favorable results. Also, our router is only a 2.5 HP machine. Also, we're turning all the pockets to chips. No solid pieces left behind.
