it's not really a problem I do it all the time. You can use any speed
if you are not cutting the edges. just use HSS endmills.
you want to rig up dc so the dust does not get where it should not.
it does not really fly around though.
but what are you trying to do? maybe a cnc router would do it
better?

Also, 3000 RPM would be a limit for an old CNC knee mill or similar, any
newer VMC has a much higher top RPM.

the only issue with rpms is cutting the edge grain. slower rpms can
peel off chunks of wood. but there are ways around that. other then
that you can go as slow as you want.
purpleheart machines great. I have not tried softwoods though. but I
can do it at 80 rpms as long as I am really careful on the edge grain.

I do maple on a Matsuura VMC on a regular basis (some kind of helicopter
part). Generally run no faster than 3000 rpm to prevent burn marks. The
largest cutter I use is a 1.25 inch 6 flute. Run that one at about 2000.
Spindle speed is of little importance. Feed rate is everything. Never having
been around a CNC router, I don't have any idea what kind of feed rates you
guys run. Can't imagine it would be fast enough to have a reasonably heavy
chip load.

Nice. I see you do pay attention to chipload.
