February 2017 – International cutting tool supplier Dormer Pramet has launched a new machining data calculator app.

Designed primarily for smartphones, the “calculators’ app” will help determine a variety of data on popular operations including milling, turning, drilling, threading and boring.

By entering different job settings including tool diameter and material type the user can quickly and easily establish the optimum conditions for an efficient machining process. A wide range of parameters can be navigated by simply swiping the screen, including power demand, torque and cutting time.

Available in 18 languages, additional user preferences provided include metric and inch options.

A valuable tool for engineers and machine operations across a wide range of industries, the app is available to download now, free of charge, from iTunes and Google Play.
