Tools-MDF.dxf,
Tools-Copper.dxf,
Tools-Steel.dxf,
Toolss-Acrylic.dxf
It would be then quite simple to then import whichever set is appropriate to the material being used. The key here (and this ties to my previous posting on drill and mill pecking calculations. The key being a field where the zstep rate could be defined per tool;
