What spindle are you using? That is basically 1000mm/min and .5mm cut depth. You can see from my thread that about 125mm/min and .15mm cut depth is what I can do with the standard x-carve spindle. When I accidentally put in .4mm, it was not happy… ([First attempt at aluminium milling - #19 by ChrisWundram](https://community.inventables.com/t/first-attempt-at-aluminium-milling/7966/19))
