Free CNC Speeds and Feeds Calculator

Free CNC Speeds and Feeds Calculator

Awesome! You’ve found not one but two Free Online Speeds and Feeds Calculators on this page.

We offer both a free online feeds and speeds calculator using simple shop formulas, and also a free (for a limited time) full-featured calculator that is the industry leading speeds and feeds calculator.  It’s used daily by thousands of the world’s best manufacturers.

They know what they’re doing and wouldn’t waste time or money if the software didn’t work.

The thing is, why use the simple free calculator when you could grab our full-featured G-Wizard Feeds and Speeds Calculator completely free for 30-days?

It takes just 37 seconds to download and start using G-Wizard.  It costs you nothing and you can get great feeds and speeds from it for the next 30 days.  If you want to go back to our free online calculator after that, no worries.

You may as well drive the high-performance model as long as it’s free, right?
