G-Wizard Speeds and Feeds Calculator

CNC Router Features

Get Speeds and Feeds in Seconds

Getting good Speeds and Feeds is quick and easy: Fill in the blanks left to right, top to bottom and G-Wizard instantly returns the best Spindle Speed and Feed Rate.

Super simple for Beginners, powerful and flexible for Pros. Plus, the best training materials anywhere free with the product.

CADCAM Wizards: An Expert in the Box

How often do you get to experiment with hundreds of different feed and speed combinations to find the best one for your job?

CADCAM Wizards will do that for you automatically in a matter of seconds and without asking too many questions. It's like having a machining expert sitting at your shoulder telling you the right combination for the win--another G-Wizard first!

Spoilboard Cutters: Built right in

Speaking of Tool Types for Routers, G-Wizard has built-in support for the most popular spoilboard cutters used with CNC Routers.

Extensive Tool Crib & Tool Coverage

G-Wizard Calculator handles more different kinds of tooling than any other Speeds and Feeds Calculator.

Import and Export tables from CSV files, use Manufacturer's Recommended Data, define tool geometry, and use dozens of tool types for Mills, Routers (special router cutters handled) and Lathes.

End Mill Speed and Feed: Coatings (including PCD) & Geometry (Ballnose, Upcut, Downcut, Compression, and more)

Drill Feeds and Speeds: Carbide, HSS, and Parabolic

Turning and Lathe Tools

Reamers, Saws, Woodruff Cutters, Corner Rounders, Tapping, Thread Mills, and Boring Heads

High Speed Machining Calculator

High Speed Machining. It's almost magic the way it increases productivity while saving tool life.

But figuring HSM feeds and speeds can also take magic, unless you have G-Wizard CNC Router Feeds and Speeds Calculator.

Feeds and Speeds for HSM are easy. Chip Thinning, Adaptive Clearing, and Trochoidal Milling are covered. It evens tells you how much to slow down in corners for non-HSM toolpaths.

Speeds and Feeds Charts: Obsolete

Throw away those old speeds and feeds charts and pdfs.

A chart is only 2 dimensional. It takes multiple charts to cover maybe 3 or 4 dimensions. They give you ranges that are tough to interpret when you just want the answer.

G-Wizard's cutting physics engine considers nearly 60 variables. No chart will ever do that!

Tame Chatter in Machining

Chatter is a fact of life in production work. It kills tools and drives you crazy.

G-Wizard gives you a comprehensive tool kit to tame machine tool chatter. Calculate optimal spindle speeds to minimize it. Track it in your Cut Knowledge Base to avoid it on future jobs.

Expert Tips

You ever read all those great tips in the tooling catalogs?

When to use climb vs conventional milling. When to start peck drilling or switch to parabolic flutes.

All those tips are wonderful, but who can remember it all?

will remember them for you. It even has a comprehensive Cheat Sheet to help you bend Feeds and Speeds to your special needs.

Machining tip: Conventional milling with coated tools and optimized coolant use.

Vacuum fixture mini-calc form for CNC router table part pop-off issues.

Stop Part Pop Off from Vacuum Tables

If you use a vacuum table you know what a pain it is when your parts pop off the table. G-Wizard has the ability to provide feeds and speeds that limit cutting forces based on your part so it won't pop off.

Quit scrapping parts because they pop off your vacuum table!

Powerful for Experts

The CNC Business can be tough. Get every advantage you can. For example, you paid extra for those special machine options. Programmable Coolant Nozzles. Through Spindle Coolant. High Pressure Coolant.

G-Wizard will take every bit of advantage when calculating feeds and speeds for your jobs.

Easy for Beginners, Even With Small CNC Routers

G-Wizard is not just for Pros, we've got beginners and hobbyists covered too.

G-Wizard has the exclusive ability to adjust feeds and speeds to compensate for the lower rigidity of entry-level CNC machines.

G-Wizard Calculator has machine profiles for the Carbide3D Nomad and Shapeoko already built-in. You can modify these for the specs of your own CNC Router--even DIY Routers. Plus G-Wizard will adjust feeds and speeds to account for the rigidity of
your machine. No more one size fits all feeds and speeds!.

Plus, we offer free CNC Router training courses, built in Getting Started Tours, Examples, and much more. CNCCookbook is the world's most comprehesive free online information resource for CNC'ers. Take advantage of it with G-Wizard!

G-Wizard Works for Your CNC Machine

G-Wizard has a giant database of pre-defined CNC Machines, plus it's super easy to do your own machine definitions.  We'll even create new machine profiles upon request, completely free of charge.
