Terminal Velocity Chart?
After a LOT of searching I'm really suprised that I can't find one. The KSP wiki has a general listing of TV for Kerbin but that's it. There is not one for other planets/moons.

The closest thing I could find was an AeroBraking Calculator Site but that's not what I want since it requires you to already be on your approach and then tells you how to adjust it to get the desired effect.

The wiki has chart like so:
Altitude (m) Velocity (m/s)
75 100.9
1000 110.5
....
20000 716
32000 2332

And I want something similar so I can estimate about how deep I want to go to get the desired effect. If someone knows of a chart could you please link it?

I don't know how accurately KSP reproduces reentry (how it reacts to drag/mass/angle), but I'm pretty sure at least mass affects your acceleration and thus how you will perform at MaxQ, so you can't have a general chart for all ships. That is why I think the only way the Aerobrake Calculator works is with in situ data, and accounting for your speed.

I would say if you *really* wanna do a precise aerobrake the best way to do it would be to first plot it on the site and then try to reproduce those same effects on your aerobraking.

If your using Farem Arospace Research drag plays a huge role in reentry if not only mass is important in stock KSP
That chart only goes up to 10K which is way to low for areobraking, unless you plan on landing.
