Sometimes I get asked whether hsmadvisor CNC Machinist Calculator is reliable enough out of the box.
I and many others test it at work every day. This 2"x1.5"x1.25" 4140 PH piece was programmed on masterscam with hsmadvisor speeds and feeds with all overrides set to default.
Worked out fast and awesome. As usual!

I've learned to trust HSMA. More often then not, if theres a mistake, I was the cause and not HSMA's numbers.

I would say the Torque and Deflection limits make it pretty much fail-proof. Even if you forget and leave, for example, feed overide at 200%, tool torque limit will kick in and tell you something is wrong.
