Took my 3mm thick FC plate to fablab where they have nice cnc router, wanted to cut out some arms for quadcopter frame. All went well but the router bits did not last long. I never used that sort of machine before, so i have few questions, first of what kind of bit i should use for CF ?
How about the rpm ? and speed ? 
Any info regarding to this topic is appreciated 

thanks
