Comparing HSMAdvisor vs. FSWizard:Mobile and other products
Update: It has been a while since i updated this table. So i decided to bump it.
I am often asked what are the differences between HSMAdvisor and FSWizard CNC Machinist's Speed and Feed Calculators.
To address it in a form that will be easy to understand, here is a little neat table. I also included competing software into the last column, so people can compare and make better decisions.
