I've seen on different machine manufactures their advertised IPM, some up to 800ipm. I have the CNCRP Pro 4824 with NEMA34 electrics. Very ridged unit with a 3hp router.
My question is, how fast do people really push their machines. I've only cut up to 100ipm, 800ipm to me would be like light speed, even @250ipm.
I know materials and spindle vs router are probably the main factors, I think my gantry would handle most any speed without flex before the tool snaps. Well unless I'm using a 1/2 endmill or something really ridged.
I'm really not sure what mine is capable of.
