Creating NEW tool libraries... more info??

[Dustin S.]

I searched for this topic and found some information but I had a few questions.

 

I see alot recommend going into the tool library and just creating all the tools while inputting the parameters and save each tool thats fine but seems like it would take FOREVER so my question is has anyone perfected using access or excel or something to make this a little faster or am I stuck with creating each tool seeting it up etc...??

 

Thanks in advance

I use old programs that ive already edited the speeds, feeds and open the tool manager within that file, then add the tools from that file to my new library.I have 3 different tool libraries,1 for graphite,1 for hardmilling,and 1 for ruffing.Anytime i configure a new tool i just open the tool manager and save the new tool into the appropriate tool lib.

The longer you wait, the longer it will take.

 

AFAIK, there is not really "good" way of editing libraries, they work but have their pitfalls.

 

It's not as bad as it seems to start creating your libraries.

I used the default library and edited the tools within to get started. At least that way, some of the info is already there for you.
