HSMAdvisor v2.7.2
Good news, everybody!
HSMAdvisor now has a G and M-Code reference page:
Also in this update, I have fixed error messages that appeared after the clean install.
These weren't critical as they appeared only once, but I assume they caused a few new users not to continue using the app, which is quite unfortunate.
The latest update can be downloaded from here: https://hsmadvisor.com/download
Thanks to everybody who sends feedback and suggestions!
Updated G and M-Code reference in FSWizard
The FSWizard app, available on iOS, Android, and web browsers, recently received a substantial update for its G and M code reference page.

Notably, the G code within the sample snippets is now highlighted, enhancing readability.
You can download the update from: https://fswizard.com/

Adding 4th axis to the desktop CNC
Just finished setting up the 4th axis.
That table is starting to look a little crowded.
FSWizard v2.1.1

FSWizard Machinist Speed And Feed Calculator has a new feature!
Filtering was added to the Cut Cloud tool list, making it easy to find the tools you are looking for:
You can filter by the library name, Tool type, and/or by a plain-text search.
Additionally, the list now checks the version and updates in the background, which means the page now appears almost immediately. No more waiting for 15-20 seconds to download all your tools each time you open it.
Thanks to everybody who made improvement suggestions and feature requests!
As usual, you can find the links to the FSWizard app here: https://fswizard.com/
