Speed Reference

[Mike Shoemaker]

Does anyone know of a reference guide for router speeds.

Page 3 of this PDF has an excellent chart for determining speed based on both the type of material and the diameter of cutter being used:

And here's a simpler guide that only takes bit diameter into account:
