Gives optimal recommendations for feeds and speeds, even based on your desired level of "aggression" of the cut. Great software!

It takes only a few minutes to set up, once you do though it is just crazy how much time it can save you. Definately worrth it, even for hobbyists

I am just learning software. It’s very detailed, and I can’t wait to try it out on my CNC router.

As for as the software goes...well... it is a great piece of work!
I've been around machinist for over 50 years and can see without doubt that this is well worth the investment and time into learning its use, Although for someone like me who is a cnc beginner- and yet MUCH to learn, (using a generic basic cnc), this software doesn't quiet do for me what I hoped it would. I am going to get a more satisfying machine-either before or after I learn more or tear it up one or the other. But this software along with the editor I will definitly learn more with it and on a bigger machine I'm SURE it will do as I hope. I used to program myself and can see there is so- so much that went into this- again I believe it is well worth the money, and Thank You Bob for all your work!

The calculator is great and even better is the database to save all your settings for future use. When you fine tune a specific cutter to a specific material and a machine and you can save it for future use in a place where you can actually find it. The calculator even has it's own adjustments for tweaking instead of just experimenting, you're guided in that decision making process. It's way faster than going back to the CAM and trying a different speed or feed to eliminate chatter or overheating.
