Hey guys,
I've developed a freeware program that should be a help to some of you. I think it's really nice.
A comprehensive machining calculator - outputs suggested feeds and speeds along with estimated power requirements and cycle time. Interactive - you change one value, everything that depends on that value updates.
Configurable - comes with a database of feeds and speeds for twenty materials and eleven tool types. You can modify the existing material data and add up to thirty more materials.
A volume and weight calculator for a large variety of shapes and
materials.
A drill depth calculator for center drills, spot drills, countersinks,
and twist drills.
A surface finish calculator.
A detailed source of screw thread and tap drill information for 192
different threads.
A drill chart with over 700 commercially-available drills.
A hardness conversion chart.
A detailed user guide.
Three files, total of 500k, no registry modifications.
The program has inch and metric modes, and switches back and forth with a mouse click.
This is freeware, with no gimmicks. If you try it and it helps you out, or you don't like it, all I need is a little feedback to let me know.
