you should be ramping in at the same feedrate as you are cutting with

not slow down when ramping

plunging and then moving laterally quickly is a good way to break tools especially small ones which most new users use

on a belt driven machine that will put alot of stress on the belts

with my big machine its quite the opposite because I use mostly compression spirals and I plunge straight down at 100ipm or more but as always I am giving suggestions on what I do with the x-carve

there is as a difference in feedrates

Lead-in  
Lead-out  
Cutting  
Ramping  
Plunging

and in this case I am just talking about ramping and cutting

in V-carve?

ramping speed is the same as the plunge feedrate in v-carve I wish they had a separate setting for ramping and plunging

cause when you are trying to ramp at 100ipm it will plunge the tool in first and then ramp it all happens fast but I can still hear the tool not being happy especially when doing slots
