BobCAD-CAM, a world leader in powerful and affordable CAD-CAM software, has launched a new website, http://www.Machinist-ToolBox.com, where CNC machinists can download the popular shop utility, Machinist ToolBox software, free of charge.
Machinist ToolBox offers fast access to optimized speed and feed calculations for CNC milling, drilling, turning, and tapping, in addition to trig calculators, quick conversion formulas, and important reference guides. These calculators are specifically designed for CNC machinists and can be applied to any number of CNC programming jobs.
"CAD-CAM software goes a long way towards automating the manufacturing process, but it doesnt completely eliminate the mathematics and calculations involved in getting the part on the machine and cutting with precision," explains Larry Pendleton, CEO of BobCAD-CAM. "The Machinist ToolBox is one of those ‘dont leave home without it type utilities for programmers. Once you try it, you immediately see why."
One of the most powerful features within the Machinist ToolBox is the extensive material feed and speed calculator that comes with a pre-configured material library, including data on aluminums, alloy steels, carbon steels, tool steels, stainless, cast iron, copper, titanium, super alloys, plastics, and much more. It even has a place to input user-defined materials using custom set speed and feed data.
The new site is live today. BobCAD-CAM encourages all CNC machinists to take advantage of this opportunity to get this high utility software, at no cost. A direct link to the download page can be found on Machinist-ToolBox.com.

Featured Product
T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs
Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
