Now click the "Select" button under "Tool".  A dialog box will appear that allows you to set a variety of settings.

1.  I picked a .125" end mill.  
2.  I set the cut depth per pass at .026 inches (5 passes to get through to .130 inch depth I set earlier)
3.  I set the feed rate at 20 inches per minute (this is how fast the end mill moves sideways when cutting)
4.  I set the plunge rate at 10 inches per minute (this is how fast the end mill descends into the material)
5.  I set the RPM to 15,000.
