What speed do you run the spindle at for cutting foam? Also, do you just use regular end mills?

@TheFartenator We run 1" end mills and ballnose at 9000rpm. Real basic cutters for foam, just two flute steel. Mostly 6 flute carbide when we cut putty. Then we use 3/4" and run at 12000rpm. Art

@jonnis240 Nope, the tools still get dull. The foam is really abrasive. They get real noisy.
What soft do control mechanism ?

It's a high density foam mockup for a wingtip for a passenger jet. It was for a wind tunnel test. It's job is to quiet the wind noise.
