Oops, I missed that part. Your feed/speed make more sense now. I'd still be tempted to use a v-bit for that part and a 'V-Carve/Engraving' toolpath. While it's a bit on the small side, it *should* give nice clean corners too. It depends if your script will handle the Z motion correctly for that toolpath type.
