What do machinists use instead of charts nowadays?
What does everyone here actually use for workshop references and calculations these days?
Still mainly charts/books, spreadsheets, Machinery’s Handbook, FSWizard, phone notes, or just experience?
I’ve been building myself a mobile workshop utility app because I got sick of constantly jumping between charts, calculators and notes for things like feeds & speeds, torque values, drill/tap sizes and conversions.
Feels like a lot of the apps out there are either outdated or way too cluttered.
What stuff do you still find annoying to work out or reference in the workshop?
