Any general rules of thumb for deciding feeds and speeds for Vee Groove Bits? eg carbitool T6128 1/2

There are a lot of variables: rpm, depth of cut, material being cut, motor power
If you can give us some more info it'll give us somewhere to start

Plenty of power for what you want, so you don't have to worry about that, but if you're only going to be cutting a few mm deep you probably could have gone for a smaller bit and saved some money.
You can safely run it at 18k rpm. If you're just touching the surface to mark it, 10m/min should be quite safe; try experimenting around the 6-8m/min when cutting timber for a nice finish. You can probably go even faster, but there's a risk of breaking the fine point on the bit.
