There's a conversion calculator in the app and if you click the settings icon (little gear) you can change the default units. I think he is asking that I include some metric end mills along with the imperial ones. Yes, that's what I was getting at and yes I know there is a calculator so it's not hard to convert just nice if it has it built in because even if I use the gear its already defaulted to MM but it doesn't change the feed rate interface (endmills), it stays at inches. Thanks again! Cheers. EDIT: I lied...the mm does work after you hit calculate so yes it would be nice if some metric endmills were included (1-6mm metric endmills)

I’m not seeing a link to this calculator. How can I find the app? Thanks!

The address is: www.millrightcnc.info/ - the apps work great, too, so you can search for "Millright" in the app store of your choice.

Check out the calculator here. It allows you to specify your machine, material, end mill characteristics, and RPM to get recommendations for your depth of cut and feed rate. It also has some other handy features like a inches to mm calculator and the "fine tuning steps/mm" calculator like is found on the spreadsheet in the Assembly Tips forum. Some additional features may be added later. Credit goes to Jody Reimers (jreimers here on the forum) for this great piece of work. He has made an excellent contribution to the community with this application. It is also launching as Android and iPhone applications. As of 10/22, the iPhone app is available and the Android app is pending We appreciate your feedback. Thanks again to jreimers for the great work.

A thought: The Dewalt router on my M3 ranges in RPM from 16000 to 27000 unloaded according to the specifications on Dewalt's website. A while back I made a hand note and remember that every time since so when I fire up the app, I increase the RPM from the default 8000 to 16000 before putting in any other information. Would it make sense to have, as an option just like you select which machine you're running, to be able to select which spindle you're running (Dewalt, 400W spindle)? Might help newer users who are starting out associate what speed to set on their router (1,2,3,etc) as they calculate everything. Hopefully that makes sense

Good suggestion bud. We might include that in the next update.

I was going to ask about making this an app. Excellent.

Is there any way to select larger diameter bits? I would like to use a 1/2" inch bit. Or am I missing something???

Will the app for Android be updated to use with the Power Route? Right now the only two options are the M3 and the Carve King.

Hey. Missed this one. It's planned, just not on the front burner. You can usually double depth of cut and double feed rates on the Power Route versus the standard recommended settings for the Carve King though.
Regards

I like it. I know how to do this stuff but the app is much easier. Thanks

Sure. Please do. The depths and feeds are tailored more to this level of machine in order to derate the chiploads a some from what is recommended in charts for heavy duty machines, but it should give people a good base line. Thank you for this App! I know I'm late to respond, but I've been researching this information starting with another entry in this forum the one which suggested to go to www.harveytool.com/cms/GeneralMachiningGuidelines_17.aspxI've got a hodgepodge of a document here: www.dropbox.com/s/gdba5obzqmblpuy/CNC_SpeedsAndFeeds_Table.txt?dl=0Which basically is notes from various sources... as well as the chip loads from this app and how they compare I haven't started CNC'ing yet, so I want to make sure I understand this before breaking any bits... In testing this app... I couldn't find any SFM guidelines per material (i.e. what speed should I be using) is the SFM also important? What would be helpful is if there was some table that has what tests were done to to confirm/provide these numbers For example what spindle or router was used and what was its speed and diameter of bit etc... from this I could determine the SFM HarveyTool site does provide SFM, but their chip loads are different, so I'm not so sure how well it can translate from one machine to the next... even though in theory SFM should be able to translate just fine from what I've read. As I post this... I'm going to continue to research this a bit more... any further insight of this would be great. In particular I'd be interested in what tests were done with Hard Plastic, and Aluminum 6061. Thanks.
