Liquidguitars,

That is the problem, you can’t.
The feed and speed are constant. For better performance you need to look at the bit geometry. What you get with the machine is a general use...

If you can control feed and speed of the bit, and if you haven chosen the correct cutting profile for the material, you will get good results.
