Chris,

Have you any idea what spindle speed you're running at?

How many flutes on the cutter and is it carbide or hss?

As you say, it depends very much on the rigidity of your machine and some trial and error is necessary.

I've emailed you a simple feeds/speeds calculator which may help.

Cheers.

Phil.

I get loads of drawings in via DXF for laser cutting and I bring them into Cut2D, join all the vectors and export as a decent DXF, then send to the laser cutters or process in another program to go on the CNC.

It's fantastic how well things cut when you get a clean drawing.

Cut2D also runs under Wine in Linux. I just tried it!
