DOC, 16k to 20k on the spindle - I adjust that by
ear.
I would run faster - but my router caps out at 2000 mm/min.
At 15 IPM I'd be concerned about rubbing at anything over ~4000 rpm.
YMMV

I'll try that. I am currently cutting .015 deep
For 1/16 and larger plastic cuts I really like the onsrud single flute
cutters, I am sold, even at $40 plus for larger ones.

I am routing some lettering on some small plastic buttons with a .020 ball

using Norm West 1L, or a single line font. I am using create profile, on,
to route the line, and doing two passes, one conventional, one climb, in an

This takes some special work for your g code, but I have done something
remotely similar. What I did was use the G54-59 offset system and G file
subroutines called from pyvcp.
If I have this straight in my mind what you are doing, it would be
something like this.
1. Home to G54 x,y, and z.
2.
I have been doing the buttons with a .015 end mill, and model enamel
paint. I let it dry a few hours, then wipe clean with naptha. Works
pretty well.

Thanks for those ideas. I really would like black buttons with white
lettering, but the only way to get translucent buttons is in white. I
guess I could consider reversing it, and infilling the engraving
I don't see an easy way to make multicolored silicon rubber buttons, though.
I shouldn't even open my mind to doing silicon, its one of those things
that is tempting though.
I guess I could try making my own buttons with translucent black acrylic.
