Five tools, one workflow

01CALCULATOR

RPM, feed rate, DOC, and chipload for any setup

Machine, router, bit, material in. A full recommendation out, with a slider to dial conservative to aggressive.

02ANALYZE

Read a G-code file before it touches the spindle

Drop in a G-code or Carbide Create file. See every toolpath, feed rate, and depth at a glance, before the cut.

03COMPARE

Diff two G-code files without opening CAM

Drop two files in. See exactly what's different: feeds, depths, operations, no CAM program required.

04LIBRARY

The full database, browsable and sourced

59 machines, 290 bits, 48 materials. Specs, compatible routers, and the source behind every number.

05MY TOOLBOX

Your actual rig, saved

Star what you run so the calculator opens ready to go. Add custom bits that aren't in the built-in library.

Not just another feeds & speeds calculator

Most calculators stop at the spec sheet. This one checks it.

THE MATH

Real chipload physics, not a lookup table

Feed rate is derived from chipload, flute count, and RPM, the same relationship a machinist works from by hand. Chip-thinning and DOC-to-chipload coupling run on top, so the output adjusts itself when depth changes.

THE DATA

Sourced from manuals, spec sheets, and community charts

Chipload ranges come from manufacturer databases (Amana, Whiteside, Freud), published bit charts, and the Carbide 3D and IDC Woodcraft spreadsheets hobbyists have traded and corrected for years. Every row cites its source.

THE CORRECTION

Checked against what machines can actually do

A spec sheet says what a bit can cut in theory. It doesn't say a belt-drive router hits a feed ceiling below its stepper limit. Those caps come from forum-reported cuts and real machine behavior.

Try it on your own setup

No signup, nothing to install. Pick your machine and see what it gives you. Feedback on what's off or missing is exactly what makes the data better.
