    Tom,
    Years ago when I would cut aluminum I would crank the RPMs way up and run the feed at 10 to 15 inches per minute. It would shoot a spray of chips out about 6 to 8 feet. This took a large sturdy machine with a lot of horsepower. It was almost like routing wood. Steel would run much slower at 3 to 4 inches per minute with a slower rpm.
