G-Wizard CNC Calculator: Time Saver for Machinists

It takes a lot of homework to do great CNC work. Take the task of optimizing feeds and speeds--there's a world of performance available beyond the basic SFM and IPT calculations all machinists know by heart.

I found myself wasting way too much time calculating and preparing when I wanted to be making chips, and I kept coming across articles and information that showed me how to do it better with still more homework. So, I created G-Wizard, a full-featured Machinist's calculator that does the homework for you.

Feeds and Speeds for all common turning, milling, and drilling operations:

  • Compensation for chip thinning, lead angle, depth of cut, and ballnosed cutters.
  • Deep hole drilling recommendations including support for parabolic drills.
  • Reamer hole size recommendations.
  • Conventional vs Climb milling recommendations.
  • Micro-cutter Feed and Speed compensation for cutters less than 1/16" in diameter.
  • Compensation for cutting without coolant.
  • Integrated with the Tool Crib and Machine Profiles. Customize for your tools and machine HP, spindle rpm, and feedrates.
  • Integrated with G-Wizard G-Code Editor. Calculate feeds and speeds and directly output g-codes.

I installed the Gwizard, Its a cool tool!

Great job! This is the all in one kind of solution that I was looking for. 

That is one slick looking program.

Thanks & keep up the good work.

It looks great. I like the layout and it's pretty easy to navigate. Again, great job.

Thanks for the nice tool! This is handy to say the least.

Looks like this is exactly the program I've been looking for!

I used a similar program but yours has more options, and overall a better look!

Nice application, great work!

Wow this thing is TOO COOL! It's a really really slick program

You've literally taken all the annoying little calculations and figured them out from every single angle, just brilliant. 

Every time I run your app, I find something new.

Awesome tool Bob.

Wow! This is really quite a piece of work you’ve accomplished. Kudos!

I’m truly impressed with your software. Keep up the great work!

Bob, thanks for the software i really like it!!

Very nice package, sure make speeds and feeds much easier. 

I love what you have done, it has been a good resource for me.

G-Wizard is indispensable, I'll be following its progress.

G-Wizard is great! 

I just surfed thru some of the pages and all I can say is FANTASTIC. Thanks again for all the hard work.

It is the single most useful thing I have added to my shop since the mill! I go to G-wizard first for all the feeds, speeds, tapping info and I also used the geometry page!

It will be a valuable asset for many shops.

Very impressed with the program.

The program is very nice, and will be a real boon, to both beginners and experienced folk.

Everyone is Welcome to Try the G-Wizard Beta Test!

"Beta Test" means G-Wizard is still under development. As such, I won't charge for it until I've declared it is ready for prime time, and even then, I won't charge much. In the meanwhile, you're welcome to use it completely for free. As I write this, there are well over a thousand Beta testers out there, and the number grows daily. G-Wizard is getting a workout!

G-Wizard works on PC's, Macs, and Linux machines. It requires an Internet connection. If you'd like to try GWizard, the next thing you need to do is click the button:

 

Here's what is going to happen. You'll be taken to another page where you give us your name and email to start the registration process. You'll receive emails telling you exactly how to go about installing G-Wizard. That's all there is to it!
