This link states 6000 ~ 12000 rpm is the spindle speed of Snapmaker 2.0
S is correct. I found exactly the same thing. After a job which took 14 hours, I realised that a density setting of 1 equates to a sideways movement of the bit that is half the diameter of the bit so each pass takes place on a new piece of wood. The bit will keep going over 90% of its previous path if you have the density set to 10 because that density moves the bit sideways at the end of its pass by 0.1mm.

Many online resources for CNC milling but you probably will have to look into a faster spindle and one that will take quarter inch bits. I have no idea whether Snapmaker are planning to make an adapter for a trim router such as these two; which are quite common in the hobby/maker world:

This may help…
You may have a compact high quality CNC but you certainly need a router to unleash its full potential. Handheld routers are a very good example of the multiple applications you can do with a good router for your CNC. When you use a router alongside...
