The system will use the current attributes of the tool you select.

 

Tool properties

 

The standard Tool list contains most of the common size router bits, drill bits, ball mills, as well as some generic shaping tools (e.g. round over bits).

 

These tools are listed in English Units at the top half of the list and in Metric Units at the bottom half of the list.

 

After selecting a tool, the Control Panel will reflect all the current information for that selected tool in the Tool Information column.

 

This list of tools is may be customized by the user, and can contain all the tools you will use on a regular basis.  You may add tools to any position in the list, however setting or keeping a specific order to the list is usually helpful in finding and/or changing tools in the future.
