I’m a new owner of the shapeoko XXL and have been tinkering with the software. And noticed that in carbide create 4.0 when setting up my material I only have 4 to choose from. Aluminum hdpe MDF and one other. But looking at videos and tutorials I see that there are loads of materials in this drop down list.
I have tried reinstalling and to no avail I still only get the 4 materials.
This is the result of Carbide Create changing from calculated feeds and speeds to a curated set of feeds and speeds which are still being tested/developed, and are being released with updated versions as they are ready.
For speeds and feeds with a 1/4" endmill please see:
(there’s a row matching dial settings to RPMs at the bottom)
I love the idea of the tool library and the control it gives us. But I don’t like the fact that we are on our own to to figure out speeds for hardwood until this version of the library is available. I would have like to see your version 1.0 published and then tweaked as necessary rather than all of us coming up our best guesses. Perhaps you should have kept the old method as an option until all materials are available.
