  Tools          69 High Country Tools cutters
  Materials      10, with feeds and speeds for every tool
  Requires       Autodesk Fusion 360, current release

INTENDED MACHINES
--------------------------------------------------------------------
  Onefinity  |  Shapeoko 5.1 Pro  |  AltMill  |  Axiom Iconic

  If your machine is not listed, identify your class by its drive
  system rather than its brand:

    Ballscrew or rack-and-pinion on rails      Rigid Hobby
    Belts or V-wheels on aluminum extrusion    Light Hobby
    3018-size desktop kit                      Ultralight Hobby
    Welded steel frame, 3-5 hp spindle         Business Class
    Cast frame, servo drives, 7 hp and up      Industrial

INSTALLATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------
  1. In Fusion 360, switch to the Manufacture workspace.
  2. Open the Manage tab and click Tool Library.
  3. Click Import, select HCT_fusion_Rigid-Hobby_v9.26.tools,
     and choose a local library to import into.

  Every tool arrives with one preset per material. Select the preset
  matching your stock - each preset carries the feed rate, spindle
  speed, depth of cut and stepover together.

MATERIALS
--------------------------------------------------------------------
  Hardwood
  Hardwood - Dense (maple, oak, ash)
  Softwood (pine, cedar, fir)
  Plywood - Baltic birch
  Plywood - Melamine / laminate
  MDF / particleboard
  Acrylic / PVC (hard plastic)
  HDPE / UHMW / nylon (soft plastic)
  Epoxy / resin
  Aluminum 6061

DATA SOURCE
--------------------------------------------------------------------
  Feeds and speeds were measured in our shop on a Onefinity Elite
  (Masso) Journeyman. Hardwood is the measured baseline; the
  remaining materials are scaled from it by chip load, spindle
  speed, depth of cut and stepover.

  The following are not based on in-house cutting:

    Aluminum 6061      Derived from published tooling data. Use
                       air blast or mist, one or two flutes only,
                       and treat the shallow depth of cut as a
                       hard limit.

    Dovetail and       Cut at full depth in a single pass and
    keyhole bits       derived conservatively. Prove them in scrap
                       before production work.

TUNING
--------------------------------------------------------------------
  Run the first pass as supplied. Increase the feed until you hear
  chatter, reduce it by 10-15%, and save the result as your setting
  for that material. Spindle power, workholding, tool stickout and
  frame condition all affect the outcome.

SHARE YOUR RESULTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------
  These libraries improve with real cutting data. If you tune a tool
  and it performs well, send us the tool, material, machine, feed
  rate, spindle speed and depth of cut. Verified customer data is
  incorporated into future releases.
