Machinist Kalc Programs

  New Machinist tips and articles every month September was a busy month, so I wasn’t able to update the site. But I was able to come back in October with a couple of machinist articles that you might enjoy. Of course, you can go to my site and look at any of the machinist tips and machinist articles any time. Contact me or leave a comment below a post if you would like to see a specific tip or article on www.machinistkalc.com . I’ll do my best to add those as quickly as possible. I hope you and your families have a blessed Thanksgiving. I’ll be back in December with more updates and news.

GrafNCalc83 iPhone App I already have a bit of information on my site about the GrafNCalc83 iPhone App, but I wanted to elaborate on it a bit more in this post. As a machinist, I purchased this app to use on my iPhone, because I need to double-check my math and trigonometry fast when I’m working on a job. And my phone is always with me. It’s very similar to the TI83/TI84 calculator that I’m familiar with but cannot carry around with me. The developer, Earnest Brock, is always helpful if you have any questions. I found this to be a pleasant surprise. The program is available for a one-time fee of $5.99 in the iTunes App store, which is an amazing price for everything this calculator offers. This fee is well worth it as it is very handy for the numerous occasions that I need to use a calculator in my life. Watch on YouTube I provide videos about how to use this app for the Machinist programs I have created for use in the GrafNCalc83. However, you can find a few other videos on Yo

Machinist Tools Calculators A machinist is only as good as his tools and his precise measurements. Yes, gages, calipers, micrometers, and all of the other tools in your toolbox are necessary. However, other machinist tools are often overlooked. For instance, we have all heard the old English proverb "Measure twice and cut once." An older Russian proverb, by the way, states, "Measure seven times and cut once." So, after you - and possibly a few of your co-workers - have confirmed the measurements for a job, it's also a good idea to run the numbers through a machinist calculator. The calculator programs I create for the GrafNCalc83 App are great for that final check. These take a few days to program and a few days to test before I upload them for sale. The app is downloaded on my own iPhone so it is immediately available when I need to check my calculated measurements for a job.  I invite you to look through my site to find a calculator program you can use for the

Coordinate Constants from Center: These are used for establishing coordinate hole locations from the center location of a bolt circle with equally spaced holes. The holes can be aligned to a reference point on a center-line or equally spaced on both sides of the centerline. To use these values, first, select the required number of holes for the bolt circle and choose the appropriate type of coordinate reference location (either on the centerline or between the holes). Then, multiply the diameter of the bolt circle by the constant values shown in the chart. (Be careful to notice the plus (+) and minus (-) value for each constant). The resulting answers represent the coordinate locations and directions of the holes from the "X" and "Y" center reference points for the specified diameter of the bolt circle. Download the full PDF, which includes coordinate constants from center for 3 to 12 holes. Contact me if you would like for me to email the full PDF to you instead.
