Hi John, We give one to everybody that attends our Vector-Names
class. ;-) They were a gift from one of the carbide/tooling
companies. In this case they changed products and printed new ones.
We got the old ones for our classes. They work just as well with the
old ads.

If you go to Westec, Eastec, IMTS, Southtec, or just about any of the
large tool/machine shows, you can pick them up at the suppliers
booths. Check in particular the carbide companies, Iscar,
Kennametal, Carboloy, Sandvik. I have seen them at J&L and MSC type
booths too, but they usually give out decimal charts instead. Which
are also useful tools

The horsepower calculations are kind of off the scale for a Sherline,
but the feeds and speeds data is great for any kind of CNC work.

I talked Wayne Hill into making one in software, with sliders a
couple years ago and we never did anything with it. Maybe if there
is enough interest he would make it available to the group.

Best Regards, Fred Smith- IMService
