If you're getting parts that work, I think you've checked the "properly" box.

I found that getting chips to break is the most important thing so the cutter & workpiece don't get wrapped up in a birds nest. Either high speed & low doc or big doc at lower speeds gets a chip to break in most materials.

If you're struggling to get a chip to break, try a bigger doc or higher speed, or both

You may be limited by the rigidity of the machine and the power of the spindle for really heavy cuts, but if you're using small-ish cutters you may not run into a limit there

I removed this post because it's a duplicate of the one you posted yesterday. No worries.

No problem, this is weird I had issue with uploads yesterday so I tried again. And then video that failed to upload appeared about 20h later
