Thanks for reply, I need setting for roughing and finishing both. I am using Meshcam.

Ok, I have to check whether two stage milling is possible in Meshcam or not as I have not much experience in CNC.

those chips actually look pretty decent you are after a chip and not dust

I would suggest switching to a downcut spiral instead of the upcut
