Carbide cutters data for Fusion 360

CNC Machines Shapeoko 5 Pro

HI there, I have scoured Carbide forum topics and could not find the carbide cutters data required by Fusion 360. The download button in tool selection in Fusion does not bring Carbide as a brand (nor does Nomad tools). I am using the default settings proposed by Fusion for a given category of cutter (e.g. 0.25" flat). But apparently those data are noticeably below what they should be in terms of feedrate and spindle speed, which increase machining time unnecessarily. Has anyone been confronted to this?

If you must have tool presets, you can use a similar tool from another tool mfg’s tool data in Fusion 360. I’ve downloaded and installed Harvey’s and Amana’s tool tables for use in my copy of Fusion 360.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I downloaded the C3D tools.json file but got the error message :" Fusion failed to import it. ", anyone?
