I’ve been looking at the machinist apps in Apple’s App Store for while but I haven’t tried any of them until now. I found one that looks good and gets great reviews, but it costs $9.99 and I’m just too cheap to buy it. The less expensive apps ($.99 – $2.99) either have bad reviews or they seem limited and not very useful. You can find them yourself by searching in the App Store for “machinist” and “CNC.”
So I was very pleased when The Evil Machinist published a free app called iMachinist. As I said it’s free, it’s pretty good and it’s probably going to get even better because it’s a “community driven engineering calculator.” Just send the author an email with a formula you’d like to see included and he’ll do his best to add it. I recommend giving it a try. It’s a good app.

Alex,
I don’t know how often The Evil Machinist visits this web site. I’d send him an email at [email protected]. BTW, his web site says an update is coming soon.

as the input format seems to be inch : would be great to have the opportunity to set to inch or mm and to get results in inch or mm too. Several formats(mm/sec, mm/ minute, meter/minute)
machinist is a great idea…and people starting with milling need help especially on rpm and cutting speed.
If you want to have machinist translated to german- please contact me.
