NibblerBOT Feeds Speeds

This page is meant to document real world experience on Feeds & Speeds used on NibblerBOT. Everyone should be able to directly add their own experiences, please fill out rows completely if dropping in a new result. If you tried an existing combination and it didn't perform as the original Operator noted then add you experience under theirs, do not delete the original note! If you would prefer to have the info added for you feel free to message the details to @larry on KM chat and I'll add them.

For Result, please include something to indicate how the actual operation performed vs. the expected. This can and should be as verbose as necessary to convey what you'd suggest changing to make the operation better. For something that ran as expected 'Good' or similar is fine. If perhaps the feeds were a little too fast then perhaps 'Slow down V and H Feed appx 20%'. Spindle speed too slow? Maybe something like 'Increase spindle speed 30%'. Be descriptive and remember, the goal is to inform the next person that does a similar operation on how to improve the performance if changes are needed.
