The Post Processor doesn`t have anything to do with producing feeds and speed for different materials so there is no such thing as a PP for Metal or Wood etc.

What you need is the correct PP for the control system that is fitted to your Router, eg Anilam, Fanuc, Heidenhain, Seimens, Mach3 etc, etc, the PP has to produce the correct code that your Router Control system will accept that`s all.

As for feeds and spindle speeds usually the best source for these would be the cutting tool manufacturer, all tool manufacturers do produce tables of feeds and speeds for multiple materials, drop them a line or give them a call and tell them what materials you are using, eg Mahogany, Oak, Cedar, MDF etc, etc, I am sure they will be more than happy to help you with this

Once you have the information for the different materials you need to set up these materials in your Materials Library and although it is a bit of a laborious task it is well worth doing as every time you select a particular material for a new job the feeds and speed will automatically be set for the particular material and tool
