Ok so I have a file that is taking me 1hr & 9mins to cut. It's a combination of pockets and profile cuts. How can I improve my cut time?
Material: .25" MDF
Passes: pockets = 1, profiles = 2
Bit size: .125"
Feed rate: 165ipm @ 17k-ish (router setting is almost to 3)
If I left anything out let me know. Thanks in advance.
Faster cut time?

Re: Faster cut time?
So if anyone is interested my solution was to change the type of cut from a pocket to a profile cut and use a larger bit. Reduced my cut time from 1hr & 9min to 31min.

Re: Faster cut time?
Keep in mind pockets always take longer. I use them mostly when I'm too lazy to leave tabs to cut out later
