True 5 Axis Machining
Just saw this very impressive machining video on Practical Machinist forums.
A very nice example of using machine and the tools to their full potential.

I have been several times asked to add a right-angle triangle to the Geometry calculators list.
And every time i dismissed the idea because there is already an oblique triangle calculator, which works exactly like a right-angle if you set one angle to 90 degrees.
Basically i was being lazy to add it because i felt like users of my software should not be so lazy and use the Oblique triangle calc instead...
Finally someone asked for the Right Triangle in the new Suggestions form (the blue balloon on the bottom task bar) and having no way to contact the author (suggestions are anonymous) i have decided to finally implement the damn calculator!
So. Enjoy, guys!
Also in this update I fixed one glitch with the S&F Calculator as well.

The MC 2017 has been out for a few month now and because it has received quite mixed reviews from the machinist's community, i decided to release one more big update to our MCx9 hook before starting to fully work on adapting it for MC 2017.
This update v1.402 is a double update. The hook version has now caught up to the standalone AND we have some new features in standalone HSMAdvisor as well.
Here is a quick video showcasing most of the new features:

Hello Frends,
After the latest changes in HSMAdvisor and addition of free features lots of people ask me to clarify (repeat?) what those are.
So those include:
Basically ALL functions except Speeds and Feeds calculations are included for Free.
Check it out here, if you haven't already : http://hsmadvisor.com
Regards!
This is 21st century and we all live in the age of the Internet.
While some software developers claim to use it for the benefit of the customers they in fact only care about license protection benefits it can provide.
Here is how HSMAdvisor Speed and Feed Calculator uses the big WWW for the benefit of its users:
There is a lot more work planned and already in progress.
In the age when everyone is talking about how internet is turning the world around we are doing our small part in making it happen!
Thank you, everybody for your support and feedback!
As unhappy I am to learn that something may be wrong with the software I develop and love, negative feedback is essential in learning whether i am doing everything right.
So a couple of days ago I received an email from a somewhat disappointed user.
He (lets call him Peter) was complaining that HSMAdvisor calculator gave him "excessively high" speeds and feeds for his 3/4" 4 flute 3.0 LOC end mill in aluminum.
With the data Peter entered he was getting around 10000 RPM(SFPM 2117) and the feed of 270 inches per minute while usual practice in the shop was side-milling aluminum at that (2.8" axial) depth at only 325 SFM
After double-checking the numbers I replied that in fact his numbers seemed very slow and if for some reason he HAD to run that slow (heck, i machine most steels faster than 325 SFM) due to some conditions, perhaps, he was ought to change the conditions themselves.
This is what I am getting for Peter's end mill setup:
Read MoreThis means that from now on the access to Tool Database and Reference functions is completely free no matter whether you paid for our software or not!
This also means that Expired Floating licenses roll back to "Lite" mode where your machine power is limited by the number of years in your subscription.
A single 1 year subscription will buy you one year of unlimited use and then your machine power will be limited by whatever many years you have been subscribed for.
It will in fact work as a more expensive lifetime subscription!
Similarly a 3 year subscription will give you unlimited use for 3 years after which your power will be limited by 3 Horse Power.
In both cases You will also get all the updates and support that naturally comes with all paid options!
I believe this will be a great help for those running light underpowered machines like Tormach 770, Carbide 3d and such.
Comments?
Suggestions?
Let us know!
Below are most of the new features in a nutshell:
Wishing peace and prosperity to us all.
Have a nice and safe long weekend!
HSMAdvisor inheritantly supported calculating cutting parameters for T-Slotting (Woodruff) cutters before. All that needed to be done was to specify prope shank size and helix angle.
