The factory says rapids of 30ipm, but that is the extreme with the stock control and steppers. In practice you rarely exceed 10-15 ipm when milling, depending on depth of cut, number of flutes, diameter of cutter, spindle speed, material, etc.
The spindle speed is max 10k rpm.
I have had some customers say they got higher rapid speeds (and cutting speeds) with aftermarket controls and steppers.
