No, really! This release brings a couple of massive new features and updates.

First, let me introduce the new Material Selection dialog.

It finally comes with built-in international standards cross-referencing, customizable columns, BHN/RC display, and - at long last - FAVORITES!

Second is the new Solid Lens End Mill tool type.

This tool type differs from a ballnose of equal diameter because it features a much larger corner radius. This allows you to achieve superior surface finishes and higher feed rates on shallow surfacing operations.

Finally, we added the Corner Rounding Mill tool type.

This one is special because I created a new Recommended Passes table for cases where taking multiple roughing depths of cut is suggested.

Other smaller updates and bugs fixes

• Improvements to Slotting/Profiling DOC/WOC suggestions
• Added mouse wheel control for all sliders
• HSMWorks Library import fixed for several tool types
• New materials such as Beryllium, new Stainless Steels groups, etc.

As usual, thanks to everyone for your continuous suggestions and feedback!

P.S. I will be releasing the Mastercam plugins shortly, so stay tuned!

Over the last week all of our web sites and web services have been moving to new better hosting and a DNS provider.

The work is largely complete at this point and only a few areas of improvement remaining.

Please excuse us for any possible inconvenience and let us know if something is still broken.

Cheers!

Hi FSWizard users,

We’re excited to share a sneak peek at something we’ve been working on:

A brand new technical drawing and dimensioning engine is now live in the web version of FSWizard!

You can see it in action here:
Drill Point Calculator

This new library powers the clean, precise visuals you see in our geometry calculators and reference pages. It's designed to improve performance, clarity and make reading geometric features easier than ever.

We're rolling it out to all platforms soon, but for now, it’s available on the web app only. We’d love for you to explore it and let us know what you think.

If you run into anything unusual, feel free to send us a bug report or suggestion - we’re actively polishing the experience.

Thanks for helping make FSWizard the go-to tool for machinists everywhere!

Cheers!
Eldar Gerfanov.

The FSWizard app, available on iOS, Android, and web browsers, recently received a substantial update for its G and M code reference page.

This update includes the addition and updating of the most commonly used Fanuc G and M codes.

Notably, the G code within the sample snippets is now highlighted, enhancing readability.

You can download the update from: https://fswizard.com/

or access it through your web browser: https://app.fswizard.com/#/GCodes.

Thank you to everyone who keeps sending suggestions and feedback!

Cheers!

Great news for our many Fusion 360 users!

Starting with HSMAdvisor v2.1.0, you can import HSMWorks hsmlib files into the HSMAdvisor database.
Holder import is not yet supported, but I will add it in one of the next updates.

Please have Fusion export the tool library in HSMWorks .hsmlib format

Not sure what to do with allowing HSMAdvisor to export tools into F360...
Please let me know if you are interested in this functionality, and I will work on it.

Take it for a ride and let me know if there are any issues with it!
