Summary

Congratulations! We have come to the end of this chapter. I hope that you feel a bit more confident about where and how to look for new tools to use.

Let’s quickly recap what we learned in this chapter. First, we discovered the built-in tool library and how to filter the tools to find what we needed. After, we learned three different ways to add more tools that we may need to machine our part, including how to create a new tool from scratch and how to import third-party libraries and plugins.

This is a beginner-level book, so there is not time enough to increase the level of detail on this subject; instead, I encourage you to dig more into important tool brand websites, where you will find a lot more that we were forced to leave untouched!

If you want to start spinning the chuck, please move on to the next chapter, where we are going to implement turning strategies to machine our first part!
