Adding Amana Tool 30 V to Create Library

[pittslmjca13 (Claire Pittsley)]

Feeds and speeds are copied from similar Carbide 3D tooling for MDF and are untested: User-Amana.zip (792 Bytes) Here is a version which has the Amana feeds and speeds copied into it — breaking this up and naming it appropriately by appropriate materials and updating the feeds and speeds to match what the machine can actually cut at is left as an exercise for the reader: User_Amana_tools_Shapeoko_Various.zip (834 Bytes) A…

Thank you for the zip - there is a similar 30 engraver in there. I should have been more specific to say that I know the steps of creating new bits in the library, I was more stuck on the numbers of this specific bit.
