Different speeds in function of axis

Hello,

I am carving keycaps in wood. First, I carve the letter, fill with some resin, recarve the back and finally return my piece for the final carve.

The only problem is that the speed of the machine: I have to make it globally very slow.  When the machine is against the wood grain the results isn't great.

So, how can I make the speed change in function of the axis the machine is going ?

Something like 2 time faster along wood grain.

Using a continuous contour toolpath, this isn't going to be possible. You'd need to have separate toolpaths for "grain" and "across grain" directions.
