• What to change before quoting

Unit & Metric/Imperial Converter

Convert length, cutting speed, feed, mass, force, pressure, temperature and roughness units between metric and imperial, on exact definitions rather than rounded tables.

Outputs

• The converted value
• The same value in every unit of the group
• What not to convert

Tolerance Calculator & Converter

Read a tolerance written as a ±, a limit pair or a unilateral allowance, turn it into a band in mm, µm, inches and thou, and see when it crosses into grinding.

Outputs

• Min/max material condition
• Band in mm, µm, inch and thou
• The equivalent ±
• A cross-check against the published machining limit

Surface Finish Converter & Selector

Convert a surface roughness between µm and µin, see which operations actually reach it, and get a target when you are starting from what the surface has to do.

Outputs

• The value in both units
• Operations whose typical band reaches it
• A target for the requirement
• Where the value crosses into polishing or lapping

Thread & Fastener Calculator

Turn a thread designation into its pitch, tap drill and clearance hole, and find the nearest equivalent in the other thread system.

Outputs

• Pitch and threads per inch
• Tap drill in both systems
• Clearance hole
• Nearest metric and inch equivalents

Hole & Shaft Fit Calculator

Enter the four limits from the drawing and find out whether the parts assemble by hand, need a press, or lock - and which side of the tolerance to tighten.

Outputs

• Clearance or interference at both extremes
• Clearance, transition or interference fit
• Which side carries the tolerance
• What the assembly will need

Machining Time Estimator

Turn feed, speed and setup into a cycle time and a batch time, and show how much of the batch is the setup rather than the cutting.

Outputs

• Feed rate
• Cycle time per part
• Batch time including setup
• The setup share of the batch

CNC Process Selector

Describe the part - shape, size, quantity, tolerance, material and features - and see which process would make it, with the rule that decided it and the operations it will also need.

Outputs

• The primary process, with the reason
• The operations the part also needs
• Where the part is likely to cost more than it looks

GD&T Reference

Look up what each geometric control actually controls, whether it needs a datum, and what it does not say - which is where drawings usually go wrong.

Outputs

• What the control controls
• Whether a datum is required
• The misunderstanding that costs money
• What the modifiers change

CNC Design Rule Checker

The rules a cutter actually obeys - corners, pockets, threads, datums, burrs - each with why it exists and what to do instead, plus what we publish about our own capabilities.

Outputs

• The design rules, with the reason for each
• What to change instead
• Our published capabilities, each classified
• The modifiers that matter

Material Selector

Describe the service conditions and get a shortlist from the 100 grades the shop actually publishes, each with the reason it is on the list.

Outputs

• Top three grades with reasons
• Alternatives from the same dataset
• What to confirm before specifying

Part & Material Weight Calculator

Work out the weight of the stock from its shape and the density published for the grade, for one piece or a batch, with the material cost if you have a price.

Outputs

• Weight per piece
• Batch weight
• The density used, and where it comes from
• Material cost from your own price

Material Comparison

Put two published grades side by side - density, tensile, hardness, machinability on the shop scale, cutting data and lead time - and see what the difference means.

Outputs

• Property-by-property comparison
• Computed density and tensile differences
• What the gap means for cycle time and weight
• Where the families differ beyond the table

Heat Treatment Selector

See what condition and treatment we publish for a grade, and what each common treatment actually does - without inventing a temperature or a soak time.

Outputs

• The published condition and heat treatment for that grade
• Treatments normally applied to the family
• What each one does, and how it goes wrong

Total Landed Cost

Turn a unit price into the number that actually lands: tooling, inspection, packaging, freight, insurance and duty, plus the per-unit share of each.

Outputs

• Line-by-line landed cost
• Per-unit landed cost
• The share of the total that is not the part price

Lead Time Estimator

Read the lead time we publish for a product family or a material grade, add your own finishing, inspection and transit, and see the total in working days.

Outputs

• The published range, and where it comes from
• The range in working days
• Your adders and the total
• The published MOQ for the family

CNC Cost Driver Calculator

Rank what is actually driving the cost of a part - material, tolerance, batch size, features, finishing, inspection - and see which one to change.

Outputs

• The drivers, ordered by influence
• Why each one costs what it costs
• What to change to move it
• Where the price is concentrated

BOM Cost Estimator

Roll several parts - each with its own price, quantity and one-off tooling - into one total, and see which line owns the money.

Outputs

• Where the two rules differ
• Where risk passes, and where cost does
• What each rule is commonly misused for

MOQ & Quantity Economics

See the published MOQ for a family against the quantity you want, and what the extra parts in a price break actually cost - which is not the same as the unit price.

Outputs

• Whether you clear the published MOQ
• The unit price fall
• The cost of the NEXT part
• Whether the break is real or arithmetic
