So I'm gearing up to do my first cut on the power route. Most of the feed and speed info seems to be about smaller hobby machines. Would the aggressive setting in the calculator correspond to the power route? Is there a better calculator I should use? What is the relationship to the feeds and speeds given for the carve right and m3?
I just want to do some profiles out of 1/8th inch plywood with the 1/4th inch endmill that came with the machine. Maybe some v carving too. What kinda feeds and speeds should I shoot for?

You could use the aggressive setting to start off with and then increase the feed rate a bit by bit and see how it goes.

I find the aggressive speeds and feeds to work well with the power route. I think it can go faster in softer woods, but I haven't taken the time to optimize for speed yet. The machine doesn't seem to be working hard. I've only tried HDPE, plywood and MDF so far.

Go aggressive per the settings, double the depth of cut, and increase feed by about 50%.
