I have VCarve Pro and it will not open the CRV3D file. I had to open the .crv and import the STL to get it into VCarve. From there, I was able to create the tool paths per the video.
According to VCarve it would be quicker overall to use a 1/4″ ball nose and 1/8 ball nose for the 3D finishing. Are there any problems with doing this ?

For a quick reference guide, I had Claude.ai create a feeds and speeds guide. Below is the link to the document that it created. Claude was trying to optimize it based on chip size and minimize bit heat and wear. Because of the 79 IPM limit on the 4040-Pro Max, it counters this by lowering the RPM for bigger chip sizes. These seem way different than the feeds and speeds from the CNC kickstart course. For example, the 1/4″ and 1″ flycutter at 6500 RPM seems low. For those with practical experience, what do you think of these? I prefer good quality CNC work over maximizing bit life. What would be the recommended changes?
