G-Wizard Machinist's Calculator

[BobWarfield]

I got tired of keeping up with spreadsheets, notes of various tips I'd learned, and links to all sorts of manufacturer web sites.  So I started writing G-Wizard, a machinist's calculator.  It's in the testing phase at the moment, but you're all welcome to try it out.  G-Wizard looks like this:



It has the following functions:

- Unit Conversions
- Fractions
- Feeds and Speeds with compensation for chip thinning, lead angle, depth of cut, and ballnosed cutters
- Triangle/Trigonometry calculations including right and oblique triangles
- Bolt circles
- Dovetails
- Tapers
- Chamfers
- Chords
- True Position
- Thread reference information for UN, ISO Metric, and Pipe threads
- Drill index
- Socket Head Cap Screw dimensions
- Area and Volume calculator with catalog of standard fabrication shapes. Estimate volumes, weights, and costs for your raw materials

G-Wizard is still under construction, so it's free during the Beta period.  Some day I mean to charge a little bit for it (hoping to get a bigger lathe, LOL!).

If you want to try it, details on how to get it are on the G-Wizard home page:

Tried the install but it wants some Adobe rubbish installing first and I won't allow any adobe rubbish on this machine.

Kvom, the details are on the web page:

Essentially, just send me an email with your first and last name to bob@thewarfields.com.  I'll put you into the registration list and send you a note back.  At the point, you are ready to install and you enter your email as your logon.

Yep, there is a definite rubbish requirement!  Sorry that doesn't work out for you John.

I tried to install this in my lap top and it blocked me out of HMEM and Madmodder web sites it kept saying they were unavailable so I took it back out and had to restart my computer before everything was back to normal does any body know what might have caused this. Cliff.

[BobWarfield]

Cliff, that's got to be a coincidence.  Nothing G-Wizard does could in any way affect your access to 2 web sites.

BTW, I've got nobody named "Cliff" on my list of approved G-Wizard users.  Send an email to get enabled.

Best,
