A good feed rate for CNC machining typically ranges from 20 to 100 inches per minute (IPM), depending on the material, tool size, and type of operation. Softer materials like aluminum can handle higher feed rates, while harder materials like steel are not usually cut on a CNC . Machine work on steel is done on a Milling machine. Always refer to tool manufacturer recommendations and perform test cuts to optimize feed rate for your specific setup.
