In the ops manager, expand the tree for proporties right under machine group, click on tool settings, set the check box for "feed calculation" to "from material", then at the bottom of the same window choose your material.

First you need to change the actual material in mastercam. Do this by going to the machine group properties and selecting the Tool Settings tab. Make sure that The Feed Calculation is set to From material. Then change material to correct material.

Right click on one or more operations select from the menu - Edit selected operations - Recalculate feeds/speeds.

Rebuild and verify the new feed and speeds.

 

If you know what speed / feed you want you could edit all the operations at once by selecting the ops. Right clicking select edit selected operations / edit common parameters
