As noted in another thread here, sometime ago, I adapted my CNC tool library spreadsheet to create MadCAM tool files. I like being able to see and manage all my tools in a single, simple layout. Jumping around tools in MadCAM to make changes or create new tools can be a bit challenging (pun intended
). I cleaned up the file to make it a tad more user friendly and uploaded it to my website. You are welcome to it if you want. Right click on the link below and save it to your local directory:MadCAM Tool Library
The file contains my tool library and will provide a good reference as to how the spreadsheet is laid out. Either edit my tools or delete them and create your own. The spreadsheet supports all MadCAM tool types. As I have to change tools manually, I don't use the holder, so all values are 1.
The spreadsheet only writes MadCAM tool files. It will not read an existing file and import it back into the spreadsheet.
If you find it of value, let me know. If you have questions, post them here, and I'll respond.
Happy milling!
