Surfacing Router Bit - Tool Library

How do I add a CNC Spoilboard Surfacing Router Bit, 1/2 inch Shank 2 inch Cutting Diameter, Slab Flattening Router Bit in the tool library? What category would this bit fall into and how do I input the cutting diameter?

I have a Shapeoko 5 Pro.

For the Carbide Create tool library see:

  • Make sure your project measurement setting is set to inches (because of a bug)
  • menu Edit / Show Tool Database
  • Pick your material
  • If you don’t already have a User library for that material, do “New Library” and make sure it’s for that material
  • Right click on the library, then New Tool / Endmill / Inch
  • Start filling the info for your tool in.

Do you know how I would add the cutting diameter of my flatting router bit? The cutting diameter is 2 inches.

Is the diameter under ‘Geometry’ where I would add the diameter of the endmill?

The McFly has a cutting diameter of 1":
