    Tool Library Questions

    Appears that By Tool is going to make more sense than By Material. I guess I then will have to create a separate tool library for each different material we cut which seems like a lot of work. How does Mastercam X2 deal with different feeds and speeds based on depth of cut and width of cut? Do you enter full depth and full width of cut and then when you take less of a cut than full depth and full width hit calculate to get the right feed and speed? A video on setting up tool libraries would be nice.
