Cut settings...feed rate...depth per pass

Easel Cut Settings
1

I’ve done a fair amount of searching on here and find a lot of info but not specifically what I’m curious about.

So in cut settings are three choices. Feed rate , plunge depth, and depth per pass. I plan on doing a lot of pine carving and I don’t see a setting and the stock settings seem slow but I don’t really know that at all.

What can I increase safely ?

Depth per pass is obvious explanation to me and I would think if it’s an eighth bit you should be able to go .125 per pass…same with a quarter bit… .25 per pass? Am I way off on this ?

And what does feed rate mean ? Speed? Can I increase ?

And plunge depth I don’t get at all.

Thanks guys.
