Database of TOOL info to enter into Vcarve - use default or enter Carbide data?

I am searching but not finding if there is a list of all the tooling data from Carbide that I can enter into VcarveP. I’ll keep looking.

Maybe the best thing to do is set up a job in Create and just copy paste the info over so I have a custom group in my Vcarve database? Or maybe since I don’t have anything outside of the .125 and .25 EM and some V-bits with standard 60/90 angles it is fine to just use the tool list in VCarve?

I was looking for to verify the speeds/feed rate and plunge rate info as suggested by Carbide since I am using their machine, just not their software.

lol… it’s easy to get lost looking around for something specific… all this other stuff gets my attention and down the rabbit hole I go.
