Wish List: Automatically calculate chip load

[Rcnewcomb]

I would like it if the chip load could be calculated/updated/displayed automatically based on the bit geometry, spindle speed, and feed rate. I'd like to see this both in the tool database and in the toolpathing window.

It would be really cool if you could enter a chip load and have it calculate the missing value of a blank field (RPM/feed rate)

A hot link to chip load ranges for various materials would be useful.

I second that suggestion.

That would be a cool feature. You'd have to have a way to enter more info about the bits. Like number of flutes, etc to do it right.
