Bought a new endmill.......now what do I do?

You can extrapolate them by using @fenrus excellent advice to halve the chipload (and hence the feedrate) by two, as well as DOC. You may find chipload recommendations from the manufacturer, but sometimes they are not quite right for our machines and it’s better to start from proven values (e.g.Winston’s) and adapt them. Since the latest versions of CC basically integrate Winston’s recommendations, @fenrus’s advice is the fastest way for you to get working with that 1/32" endmill.
The “halving” strategy comes from the fact that endmills tend to support a MAX chipload that is correlated more or less linearly to their diameter. So the “half the diameter => half the chipload” rule of thumb, while conservative, is a good starting point for testing.

You are probably better off starting with CC recipes and adjusting them, but in case you are interested in F&S calculators and how to use them, @gmack is the calculator king around here, you can find his spreadsheet here, and you can get a short overview of how to use it as well as a dumbed-down version I made for myself, in that section of the shapeoko ebook (no reason why the principles would not apply to the Nomad).

Sometimes they do, but I would take them with a grain of salt, as it is unlikely that they had the Nomad in mind when they wrote them, and sometimes the machine matters as much as the material and endmill specs.

EDIT: I forgot to add a very useful resource for micro-machining F&S, that @WillAdams pointed me to long ago: Calibrating Feeds and Speeds When Using Carbide Microtools
