Tool library or plug-in

Post by robert hastrich »

Can anyone help me out with a simple tool library for cnc router that I can plug-in or download into the sheetcam?

And same for the cnc plasma for feeds, speeds and thickness plate?

Also is there somewhere that I can make the icons bigger and maybe hide some of them? Looking to dumb it down for me. Trying to use this software over the fusion 360 for cnc tool paths g code and cnc plasma g code. I like the sheetcam because it's mine and don't have a pay a monthly fee.

Thanks Bob

Tool libraries tend to be very specific to your setup. For routing it depends on what cutters you want to use. For plasma it depends very much on what plasma cutter you are using. For instance a Hypertherm 45 tool set won't work with a plasma cutter from a different manufacturer.
Does the manual for your plasma cutter have a list of recommended cutting parameters? If so you can drop those numbers into your own tool set.

To change the icons right click on any tool bar. You will have options to change the button size and you can also change what buttons appear on each tool bar.
