Tool Libaries attached Speed & Feeds

[Sandybar]

Okay, I have started my tool liabary and buiding it up pretty nice too.

 

But I'm stump on how to attach a type of material for speed and feeds to the tool.

 

for instance you have a 1/2" end mill you use for multiple types of materials. Call up the 1/2" aluminum tool and the speeds for that tool asscoiated with that type of material.

Sandybar, I have seperate libraries for dif materials. It's the easiest way to make sure you get the speeds and feeds that you want for a specific material. This is my personal preference. I also do it for dif machines that don't have the same spindle capabilities.

anyway you guys can share your tool libraries like say, posting them to the ftp site. i am kind of starting to develop my tool library but i need a starting point. thanks in advance

I think Tool libraries with feeds & speeds would be a great 'crowdsourcing' activity, where many hands could make light work.
