HSMAdvisor 0.021 Has just been released

March 17, 2013, 10:25 pm by Eldar Gerfanov (Admin)

New things: None.

Well not really.

First of all alot of small bugs has been fixed.

Second of all i added a neat picture to Drilling operation.

It now shows what each drill specific field means

Also. Unfortunately all current license key holder will have to get new license keys.

If you currently have a license key, please e-mail me your new Computer-ID
And i will send you a new license key.

NOTE:

If you are installing over previous version of HSMAdvisor, you are encouraged to perform complete uninstall of the old version.

Othervise what happens is old settings file is not compatible with the new one.

This will cause Default Tool Type, Tool material and Coating presets to get lost and you end up with a funny looking FSWizard page.

Correcting this is extremely easy:

You need to select some tool type (IE: End Mill), select some Tool Material (IE. HSS) and finally select some Coating (IE. NONE)

This will fix the problem.

Attached below is a screenshot of what it looks like when settings mismatch happens, not a pretty sight i agree, but there is no need to panic.

(Note to self: add version check for every file)

FSWizard and HSMAdvisor status update

March 15, 2013, 9:46 pm by Eldar Gerfanov (Admin)

We have alot of stuff coming.

First of all HSMAdvusor is being particially rebuilt to fix one current issue and provide easier frature implementation in the future. I will try to push update this weekend.

FSWizard:Online has not seen alot of updates in quite some time. A decision has been made to persue mobile web application with bacend running on the server. Currently i am exploring options, modifying mobile version to work with google's jQuery mobile framework to allow seamless deployment across al platforms.

Below is a screenshot of the mobile web app being developed right now.

    New Name for FSWizard is HSMAdvisor !

    January 27, 2013, 11:06 pm by Eldar Gerfanov (Admin)

    As you know the long-awaited standalone version of FSWizard is being prepared for the release right now.

    I am changing the name it is going to be marketed under.

    Down the line The product is going to consist of many modules.
    And in order to give it a name that would encompass a wide variety of tools under one umbrella it has been decided to change the name of the solution to HSMAdvisor

    A new website is being constructed right now around new product

    It is going to be located at HSMAdvisor.com

    But we are not forgetting where we came from.

    FSWizard is becomming one module inside HSMAdvisor solution.
    So you will still see FSWiz name popping up here and there.

    Also as i said earlyer and robably against better judgement i will keep HSMAdvisor(FSWizard):Online Calulator you have come to love and depend on free for everyone to use.

    Thanks to a suggestion made by Kennis on Suppport Forums we now have basic thread milling speed/feed online solution.

    Take it for a spin guys.

    If you have anything else to say regarding this feature, or maybe some suggestions please reply to this forum thread http://zero-divide.net/index.php?page=forums&shell_id=170&article_id=4280

    Thoughts on FSWizard Future

    December 18, 2012, 12:59 am by Eldar Gerfanov (Admin)

    Where do we stand and how did we get here.

    When i first started FSWizard project one year ago in December 2011. I felt the need to upgrade my knowledge and skill-set regarding speeds, feeds and best cutting conditions.

    Other calculators available at that time simply did not cut it for me.

    One of them did not account for such important parameters as tool length.

    The other did not care about such crucial tool geometry features like helix angle, shank diameter, lead angle and so on.

    As a result i have endeavoured on a mission to build the best calculator that would accurately predict cutting forces, cutter deflection and suggest best cutting modes using all available tool data for multitude of combinations of work-piece/tool materials, coatings and tool types.

    It has been a year of research, building cutter and material models, applying REAL MACHINING experience.

    All results were tested in REAL PRODUCTION environment.

    Today thanks to FSWizard, machines i work on produce 200%-300% more parts per day than 1 year ago.

    It has been one year since i have started.
    And i believe i have achieved my original goal.

    Today The FREE FSWizard gives far better results than many expensive solutions available on the market.

    FSWizard:Standalone is the only available program that will warn you if cutter will be reaching its breaking point.

    In fact we see paying users of other programs asking their developers for features that have been long implemented in FSWizard.
    And we see those developers finally moving out of their comfort zone and trying to improve their program's functionality.

    Where do we go from here?

    What does the future hold for this project?

    No one really knows.
    Unlike others who can talk the speed/feed game, I am not into marketing.
    I don't do a particularly good job of persuading people that my product is the best thing that happened to the CNC world.

    All i have is 2 hours of free time on my hands after work and a ton or real-world machining experience not many in the software business can brag about.

    All that remains to say here is

    I am not using words "product" ,"consumers" and "business" just by accident.

    Next release version of FSWizard:Standalone 0.015 PRO will be a commercial product.

    It will be sold as a 1 year subscription.

    I am not yet sure about the pricing.
    But i know that i will make it subscription-based and the price will be very affordable.

    This is the only way to move forward on this.

    If you have any comments or thoughts, i would love to hear them out.

    Download link to the standalone version has been removed ahead of a major release planned this month.
