Tool table question

Post by ruffle »

I'm probably misunderstanding something here but is there a way of using the tool table to define different speeds'n'feeds for the same tool without changing the tool number?

For example, when cutting a pocket one would have a lower speed and feed and DOC then when doing a cleanup pass. If you're doing a load of pocketing operations it becomes a PITA to overtype the speed, feed and DOC for each cleanup operation.

I don't want to change the tool number as that introduces a tool change operation.

Any ideas or does Sheetcam need a sub selection for each tool?
