I have just uploaded a latest release of HSMAdvisor v0.801.
In this update i only added a few calculators to the new Reference Tab.
Lets review all those calculators here. And since i last time got repremended by mr rlockwood for making my post too long and dry, i will spice it up with a ton of pictures and even a download link. BTW you can download the updated version over here http://hsmadvisor.com/index.php?page=Download
There are 3 new calculators.
Those are:
Scientific Calc -a child of my labor over this weekend. The standard Windows calc was driving me crazy with its small buttons, so i whipped up this one. Maybe later i will make it a separate pop-up window or something
Drll Point Calc - a handy tool that allows to calculate depth required to make a countersink of set angle, and tip flat size
Partial Bolt Hole Calc- allows to find location of equally spaced holes laying on an ark.
Here is a full list of calculators available at this point in the Reference Tab:
Scientific Calculator
Bolt Hole
Partial Bolt Hole
Bolt Line
Drill/Countersink Point Calculator
I plan to keep adding more and more new calculators and features and improving existing ones.
Should you have any suggestions, please let me know.

Please try the Free FSWizard Lite first to confirm your device capability. Also huge thanks to those who go through the trouble and leave a review. Good reviews mean more sales and more incentive for me to further improve on this app.
FSWizard Lite and FSWizard PRO are iPhone/Android machinist calculators that do not require internet connection. PRO version has all the latest material lists and speed and feed technology.
Lite version has all the same features, but it only has tool steel, mild steel and aluminum in its material list. It still has all the tool types and tool materials found in online and standalone versions Both Lite and Pro versions have unlocked tapping data.
Lite versions have limited geometry calculators.
This app is intended not to replace but to complement my much more powerful standalone Windows application called HSMAdvisor.
Some time ago an unknown colleague had borrowed an end mill from me.
Have i had been there i would have stressed that it was aluminum specific cutter and that it should not be used on steel. Unfortunately i was not and it did not occur to him to ask somebody who would have known better.
Next time i look into my drawer i see this.(first picture)
Now we have a tool and cutter grinder to sharpen the OD of an end mill, but chips were so big, i would have to grind off maybe 20 thou of the diameter on order to get rid of them.
Our TC grinder does not allow to re-flute end mills, so i had to do it holding end mill in my hands.
First i picked up correct angle, and then i slide end mill upwards, turning it at the same rate as to follow flutes.
It came out better than i thought. I was not planing to use it for finishing anyway.
And it lost only 5 thou in diameter after this hack-regrinding.
