Tool Selection Guide App

By Vortex Tool Co. March 13, 2015 | 4:34 pm EDT

Vortex Tool Co. has developed a Tool Selection Guide App to simplify tool selection based on a user’s cutting needs, says the company. Users input the type of material being cut, the horsepower of the CNC machine, the tool diameter, the thickness of the material and type of cut desired, and the Tool Selection Guide App will recommend the best tool for the application. The App also includes calculators to determine chipload, feed rate, RPM and metric conversions, says the company. Links to the current Vortex Tool catalog and online ordering are also provided, adds the company. The Vortex Tool Selection Guide App is available for iPhone, iPad, Android Phone or Android Tablet. A free download is available at Apple.com or Play.Google.com by selecting the Vortex Tool Selection Guide.
