Tool table question
Posted: Thu Aug 20, 2015 11:59 am
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?
