Hello all,
Another newb question. I've downloaded the Amana tool database and the bit I want to use is not listed. Is there a way to input the bit or am I stuck with only what is listed? The bit in question is the Amana straight plunge #45427. TIA.
My bit not listed in database, Can I add it?

Yes, of course you can add it. The tool type will be "end mill". Check the help file for how to add tools...it's pretty straightforward.

Many users chose select then copy a similar tool, then you can just change the name and any parameters you want.
