From my experience it machines beautifully and you can go as fast as acceptable scallop height will allow. My machine had limited rpm (3500) so I can't say how it would work with a high speed spindle.

As fast as the machine can accurately do really. It machines nice. I use Onsrud or Vortex square and ball endmills with it.
Which series of Onsrud you’re using?

I’ve used a bunch of different ones. Some single flute, some 2 flute down cut, and the ball. I mainly use balls from 1/8-1/2. Onsrud is usually short though. Vortex makes them longer if needed and can resharpen the Onsrud balls.
Thanks

Think about dust collection and coolant/oil contamination if you have to keep the material clean. Some spindles spit a bit of oil out in normal use and that could be an issue in bonding cut shapes.
