Feeds and Speeds

 

Compensation for radial chip thinning, lead angle, depth of cut, v-bits, and ballnosed cutters.

check"Gas Pedal" slider specifies how conservative or aggressive to make the cut. Emphasize surface finish and tool life or material removal rate.
checkChatter calculator identifies optimal spindle rpm ranges to minimize chatter.
checkHSM Feeds and Speeds + Tool Engagement Angle Calculator
checkDeep hole drilling recommendations including support for parabolic drills, when to peck, and when to drill a pilot hole.
checkReamer hole size recommendations. RA and RMS surface finish (scallop height) calculator for turning and ballnose endmills.
checkConventional vs Climb milling recommendations. Endmill plunge rate and plunge milling feeds and speeds.
checkMicro-cutter Feed and Speed compensation for cutters less than 1/16" in diameter.
checkCompensation for small machines (Rigidity compensation).
checkIntegrated with the Tool Crib and Machine Profiles. Customize for your tools and machine HP, spindle rpm, and feedrates.
checkIntegrated with G-Wizard G-Code Editor. Calculate feeds and speeds and directly output g-codes.
checkFull tooling: End mills, turning tools, indexable, face mill, reamers, spot drills, twist drills, gun drills, spade drills, spot drills, slitting saws, woodruff cutters, v-bit engravers, and taps
checkMaterial Database: Aluminum, Steel, Stainless, Titanium, Plastics, & Wood, Alloys and Material Conditions
 

Cut Optimizer

 
checkOptimize Speeds and Feeds Using G-Wizard's Cut Optimizer
checkOptimize your depth and width of cut
checkOptimize stepover and level depth when pocketing and profiling
checkAnalyze Tool Deflection
checkOptimize tool stickout from the holder
checkMinimize deflection to increase accuracy and improve surface finish
checkSettings for roughing and finishing

Knowledge-Based
Machining

 

checkCut Knowledge Base (Cut KB) documents and improves your shop's Best Practices

checkCapture a running feeds and speeds database of your different cuts
checkCategorize by cut type: Peripheral, pocket, 3D contour, helical, and more
checkRate cuts by overall stars, finish, cutter wear, and chatter
checkCreate tool tables with the Tool Crib
checkImport or download manufacturer's recommended surface speeds and chiploads from our Cloud Knowledge Base
checkImport and Export Cut KB and Tool Tables via Excel and other Spreadsheets
checkComing soon: CAM software integration!
 

Helical Interpolation
and Ramping

 

 
 
 
checkFigure how much to slow down due to geometry, plunge, and accuracy.
checkDetermine your machine's acceleration capabilities based on interpolation accuracy.
checkAdjust circular and helical interpolations to increase interpolated hole accuracy.
checkSave time and tool changes by making accurate interpolated holes instead of drilling.
