Worth noticing: The trial-recording app lists customer and machine data, tooling, reference products, parameter sets, results, photos, and reports.

Field notes

The calculator displays the relationship between specific cutting force, chip thickness, and cutting force, then lists supported operations across turning, milling, and drilling. The chip-formation module describes a 2D milling simulation, while the preload tool accounts for contact-point movement and screw bending. The homepage says the calculation protocol and three companion apps require registration.
