I purchased a SpeTool 1/8 spiral down cut end mill and want to add it to my carbide create program. This is a first for me and I have no idea what information I need to enter or how to enter the end mill. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You should be able to the same feeds and speeds as for the Amana #46200-K:

So to add the tool I create a new library and add the tool?

To actually add an endmill, make a new Library:
right-click and choose “New tool”:
choose the type of endmill and units:
then fill in the information in question:

Do I leave The information that appeared when the edit tool screen opened. (The geometry, 2D and 3D speed and feed)

No, adjust and enter the updated/correct information for the new endmill, see:
I’ve been going back to the basics of the whole feeds and speeds thing for a minute, and this time I want to focus on chipload values only, not the infinite number of associated RPM/feed combinations.
I collected a small sample of feeds and speeds below from:
usual recommand values from 3 or 4 different web sites
what CarbideCreate uses
the Shapeoko feeds and speeds chart for the #201, 1/4" endmills

Thank you. Once I sent the last message I remembered you said I could use the same speeds and feeds of the Amana 46200-k. And I will look at what you just sent. Thanks again for being patient.
