I'm using Solidcam and ncstudio to cut into 6061 aluminium.
I've told Solidcam that it's a 6mm 3 flute end mill and that it's cutting aluminium.

When I transfer to ncstudio and I do a test run it's attempting to cut at 100mm/min with a spindle speed of 1000 rev/min. The depth of cut is 3mm. As I said this has all been set up be Solidcam. Does that sound right?
