Material Selection for Newfangled Wizards

The material data is stored in a file, Material.txt, which must be placed in the same folder as the wizard screen file- usually C:\Mach3\Addons\Newfangled\Material.txt

The file is a simple text file, each line contains one material with 4 cutting speed The speeds are listed in the order of HSS, HSStin, Carbide, Carbidetin. The numbers listed are the desired cutting speed in surface feet per minute.

You may add to this file any special materials you use, and you may adjust the values to suit your machine.

Be careful to maintain the file format, the wizard will get confused if you mess up his files!
