Genmitsu & FoxAlien feeds & speeds

High Country Tools groups the Genmitsu & FoxAlien in its Hobby ultralight class (source), so ChipLoad uses that class's published settings.

We haven't verified spindle or rigidity specs for the Genmitsu & FoxAlien from a primary source yet, so we don't list any. Set your spindle's real max RPM in the calculator.
