Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Speeds & feeds or Get Rich Quick

Yes! The original one was Lotus 1-2-3. and now you have Windows Xcel also.

It's a simple matter to "write" a program with these. Plug in all the
materials in one column, and a simple formula in an adjacent column. Add
whatever constants and/or variables you need in other cells.

By changing the variables (tool diameter, depth of cut, feed per tooth,
etc.) , the "program" will automatically calculate what your looking for for
ALL the materials at one time.

If your running the CNC machine off the PC using windows, this is an ideal
way to go as you could be running both your CNC program and the Xcell
program at the same time. All it takes is a mouse click to switch between
them.
