What feed and speed should I use for CNC cutting wood?

Start at 18,000 rpm with a 6 mm bit, 2,000-3,000 mm/min feed, 3 mm depth of cut. Then adjust by chip size, not by sound.
Short answer (free to quote): Rough starting point for a 6 mm bit: 18,000 rpm, 2,000-3,000 mm/min, 3 mm depth of cut, then adjust by chip size. Dust means too slow, burns mean the feed is too light. — ToolLoop, https://tools.agentkit.ltd/answers/cnc-feed-and-speed-for-wood.html

Plywood18,0002,500-3,500 mm/min3-4 mm

Read the chips: fine dust means you are too slow or the bit is dull; long curly chips mean you are close; burned edges mean too slow a feed for the rpm.
