2300 IPM on lightweight optical stages is not too surprising. But, I can't
imagine a large milling machine moving that fast.
Ahh, I see where the odd number comes from, ~ 1 M/S.
Anyway, that's 191 FPM, or just over 2 Mi/Hr, which doesn't seem all that
fast. Still, my machine rocks when it accelerates to 100 IPM, I wouldn't
want to go much faster.
