Using feature recognition to automate hole drilling

We are using NX 6.0.0.24 and are trying to automate hole making. Using example from our CAST application we are able to use feature based machining to recognize features in our part. Operations are added and tools are selected but speeds and feeds are absent. Per the CAST example we are using the "feature machining" cam configuration with "machine knowledge" cam setup.

We would like to control the tools selected and have the feeds and speed automatically set.

Where and how are the tools selected?
Where should speeds and feeds be coming from?
And how can we customize our files to control tool selection and speeds and feeds?

Should we be using something other than "feature machining" cam configuration with "machine knowledge" cam setup?

Thanks,
