V-bit Feed, Speed, and Stepover

First time posting but I’ve been a long time lurking. I just got into V-Carve and need some help. I know feeds and speeds and stepover are a nonstop topic among CNCers, but I need a bit of guidance on feed, speed, and stepover for a v-bit. Generic work, generic 30 degree bit. I just need some sort of generic guidance. I can learn and adjust as I go, but I need help finding a place to start. Thoughts?

Feeds and Speeds Spreadsheet

Hey all. The last few days I’ve been working on a simple “Feeds and Speeds” spreadsheet for my own reference. It’s not done yet, but you can see the current version here: Obviously, none of this is set in stone or 100% for everyone, but it seems like a good baseline for me so far. I’m not sure if anyone else will find this useful, but I thought I’d share. If there is enough interest, I can make a publicly editable version that we can all contribute to.
