GrafNCalc83 iPhone App

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
