Not sure if this has been suggested or not, and i know it is an option to select drills from a material list,but i do mostly lathe work. Instead,at the beginning of modeling your part, set your model material accordingly. Then, when you go in to manufacture\cam, when you select your tools the speeds and feeds are automatically set and pretty close to recommended starting points. I work with a lot of different materials, and the only way for me to do this, other than changing my speeds and feeds manually for EVERY SINGLE TOOL EVERY TIME, is to make a full tool list for every tool we have and for every different material we run. Also, if you designate your tools correctly the speeds and feeds should change for number of flutes (exa.- face mills, chamfer tools, 2/4/6 flute endmills, etc.).
