Hello
I am new to this and i need a little help. When i purchase my Shapoko Pro i was sold a number of bits made by Inventables. Does anyone know if there is a way to import a Inventables Tool Database into Carbide Create Pro. Or do i need to impute the spec for each bit individually.
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks
If you make a new user Tool Library in Carbide Create you could then go to About Carbide Create | Open Data Directory and edit the underlying .csv file.
At least one user here has been working on a tool to convert tool definition files from one vendor to another:
The Inventables makes bits similar to c3d. So copy like a 1/4 2 flute bit and modify it as needed. Likely it will work as a c3d bit like the 205 for a 2 flute upcut bit. You can just tell CC it is a 205. But you can make a custom tool. Custom tools must have unique numbers so do not duplicate existing c3d tool numbers or any custom tools you may already have. Likely on the inventables website they have the specifications of their bits like c3d does.
I looked at the x-carve-tools-ver-3 tool library from the inventables site.
The tool definitions are the geometry only, no speed and feed information in defined.
