Field notes
The homepage organizes its tools around workshop jobs, from checking a thread over wires to calculating a sine-bar gauge-block stack. It says speeds-and-feeds covers more than 60 materials and describes metric as the default with imperial available at a tap. A safety notice tells users to verify results and check machine and tooling limits.
