Can someone help me understand the relationship between feed rate and accuracy on the X-Carve? I have noticed some inaccuracy when cutting acrylic at 100in/min.
Is there a recommended max feed rate? Does loading on the bit play a part?

Yea it will decrease accuracy but it depends I’m cutting 120 in per min in mdf with a .125 bit. No accuracy issues.
this is 3 pieces of mdf laminated together they are all almost perfect oh and I’m cutting .06 in depth per passCut each piece then glued.I used the 24 Volt quiet cut spindle with the 2 flute straight cut 18 inch that that came with the starter kit
Interesting. I’m letting my cuts in MDF drift along at 20ipm using a 1/8", 2-flute end mill. It’s not laboring at all but I can’t imagine trying to run 120ipm! I have a 48V quiet cut spindle.
That’s the default spindle, right?
Yea mine is oh man if you are running the 48 crank that thing up to like 50 and give it a whirl. I was thinking of pushing 200 and giving it a shot but I’ll wait till I get my half inch surfacing bit in
I should have mentioned that the operations I was having trouble with were on small workpieces, where the motors/bit can change direction many times per second.
I did the more complex cut at the same feed
