Router Feeds and Speeds

Use this page when the search intent is router-specific and the user needs practical starting values for wood, plastic, or light aluminum work.

What it covers

Routers tend to move fast but still need chip evacuation and a sensible chip load. This page keeps the router intent separate from mill-specific searches.

  • Wood, MDF, plastics, and light aluminum.
  • Chip evacuation and chip load balance.
  • Practical router-specific starting values.

Why users land here

Router users are usually looking for a direct answer, not a general CNC reference. The page is optimized for that narrower intent and links back to the live calculator.
