Why i am stressing the location is because some file hosting websites are hosting something that claims to be genuine HSMAdvisor software without first asking for my permission.
Please always download our software from hsmadvisor.com website.
Our software is also signed with my name. So you can be sure it comes from me directly and is not tainted by malicious code.
Also in this update i added Acrylic to the materials list.

Zero_Divide's FSWizard speed and feed calculator is the latest professional-grade mobile calculator to hit the i0S and Android stores.
For those who aren't happy with the accuracy of the speeds and feeds generated by their CAM software, FSWizard may be your solution. Like a Swiss army knife, it also includes a toolbox of essential charts and standalone calculators to make life easier for machinists.
Can not say it gave me an immediate influx of new sales (although every bit helps!). I guess most of the sales are driven through this web site and the buzz around HSMAdvisor Advanced Speed and Feed Calculator or the free FSWizard:Online calculator.
We all have manufacturer speed & feed charts and have used their recommendations.
But sometimes those charts just don't apply.
For example manufacturer charts assume you are using their endmills at a certain stickout length, flute length and at a certain depth of cut.
But in the real life you rarely match all these conditions. Sometimes you need to use longer endmill. Sometimes your flute is longer than what manufacturer gave you speeds and feed for.
What i am trying to say is that whenever your real life conditions differ from "normal" you "need to adjust accordingly". In fact this is what is printed below many charts.
Too bad not many sources tell you how and what to adjust.
While failure to adjust cutting parameters often leads to chatter, poor surface finish and even tool breakage, one of the biggest mistakes people do when machining is

Absolutely the best handheld CNC machinist's speed and feed calculator around. Calculate cutting conditions simply by choosing your work and tool material. No need to know any numbers. FSWizard will automatically use recommended cutting speed and chipload.
* Made by a machinist for machinists *
Improve productivity and optimize cutter life.
* Milling, Drilling, Tapping and Turning * Suggests optimum cutting depth and balances cutting parameters. * Supports Chip thinning and HSM machining. * Required Power estimation, Recommended Depth/Width of Cut for extra-long cutters. * Built in tap drill calculator to calculate not only cutting speed and feed , but also drill dia in accordance with desired thread engagement. * Drill and Tap charts for both imperial and metric systems. * Oblique Triangle Calculator * Fillet Calculator will find tangent points to a circle and two lines * Machinists Bolt Hole Circle and Line Calculators
It just does it all.
*Milling Tools: Solid EndMill, Indexed End Mill and FaceMill, Solid and Indexable drills *Drilling Tools: Jobber Drill, Hi-Performance Parabolic Drill, Spade Drill, Reamer *Turning Tools: Profiling and Grooving
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.
This HSMAdvisor v0.200 release is a major step forward.
Aside from major rewrites that i did to improve stability of the code there are also new features that will improve user experience and move us one step ahead towards making it the best tool for machinists.
New Features
Circular Interpolation feedrate compensation Now you can get compensated feedrates for milling inside and outside round features.
HSM and Chip Thinning are now two separate check boxes. Chip thinning allows to compensate for thinning chip thickness at low radial and axial engagements. HSM allows to increase cutting speed when chip thinning occurs.
Manufacturer's Speed and Chipload input For when you need to enter manufacturer recommended S&F values.
.NET 2.0 Framework Starting from this release i have downgraded required framework version from 4.0 to 2.0 This will allow us to target wider audience as it immediately drops requirements for Windows computers.
UNEF and UNS threads New thread sizes were added into the Threading section.
Drill Chart was expanded to drills up to 1.5" in diameter
Bugs Fixed
All the existing bugs were tackled when code re-write happened. I took a long time testing and fixing all of the problem and suspect areas, so at this poing it should be bug-free.
