How do I get Idcwoodcraft tool database into CC

[Tylermagel96 (Tyler Magel)]

So I like to use IdcWoodcraft for bits and their feeds and speeds, they have a download that has all the tool databases but how do I import that into carbide create? Thanks

Carbide Create uses a .csv file for tools:

number,vendor,model,URL,name,type,diameter,cornerradius,flutelength,shaftdiameter,angle,numflutes,stickout,coating,metric,notes,machine,material,plungerate,feedrate,rpm,depth,cutpower,finishallowance,3dstepover,3dfeedrate,3drpm
525,Amana,45525,,45525,end,1.125,0,0.5,0,0,2,1.5,,0,,,,30,60,18000,0.02,,0.1,20,60,10000
390,Kyocera,1/8" 90 degree Kyocera V endmill,,1/8" 90 degree Kyocera V endmill,vee,3.175,0,2.244,0,90,2,38.1,,1,,,,203.2,254,10000,1.27,,2.54,20,254,10000

which can be edited in a text editor or spreadsheet and saved out again as a .csv

Some folks have been working on converting from one tool library to another:

CC 757 - Tool Library - Found folder - no files

Hi, I am looking for the Tool Library file. I found the folder as specified ( About - Open data folder ) but the folder is empty. Any words of wisdom ? Why am I doing this ? I found a c# program that reads the Fusion 360 JSON tool library ( Developing a HSMAdvisor / Fusion360 Tool Library Converter using C#! - YouTube ) and I was thinking to convert the Fusion tools to CC and the CC tools to Fusion. This maybe a pipe dream but should be doable.

perhaps the file formats are similar?

I pasted the IDC-Woodcraft-Carbide-Create-Database-4-16-2023.csv file in the Carbide Create>Tools folder and the Database shows up fine when I have Machine = All and Material = All selected. When Machine = Shapeoko and Material = All are selected I don’t see the IDC Database. Is there a way to show the IDC database when only the Shapeoko machine is selected?

[WillAdams (William Adams (Carbide 3D))]

What is the machine name for the file? If you want it to show up under Shapeoko change the machine name to “Shapeoko”.

Got it, Thanks!
