Such a nice UI. But it is a bit limited in that it only covers two mill profiles (end and ball) and only covers metal (5ish types, SS, Iron, Aluminum, a couple others). Unfortunately, I mostly cnc wood and acrylic, and a tiny bit of aluminum. I also often use different mill profiles. So great but not so great for woodworkers.
App developer quickly responded (2024) they plan to add wood profiles, which is hopeful.

Thank you for taking the time to write a detailed review, I’m pleased to hear your comments on the UI and I can confirm that updates including more tool types and workpiece materials are planned for the future.
Many thanks
DaveThis app is the greatest, best designed, user friendly, and helpful app for machinists.

Thank you so much for this review!
I really appreciate your comments on how fast and intuitive the user interface is and it’s wonderful to hear that you are using the app daily to calculate your cutting data
As a machinist myself my aim was to develop the app with minimum data entry and keep it as simple to use as possible while providing reliable cutting data so it’s great to get a review like this!
I am looking to add some additional features and options in the next release while keeping the same overall feel and ease of use so if you have any suggestions for features you’d like to have it would be great to hear them
Thanks again for the amazing review!
DaveHands down the best feeds and speeds interface I’ve ever used. I do a lot of test cuts from a lot of different tooling companies so being able to browse through their catalogs with this app handy makes my workflow so much better! The interface is extremely easy to use and is a priceless tool in my day-to-day work. All of the other calculators ask you for meaningless information when calculating cutting data, this app simplifies it down and uses the base calculations that all of the tooling manufacturers and CAM systems use. It’s also a step above using a calculator manually to get this data. Would rate 10/5 stars if I could. A+++

It means a great deal to get positive feedback like this and I really appreciate you taking the time to write such a detailed and informative review.
Thank you again!
Kind regards

I love this app! I use it daily for calculating chip thinning feed rates and love how fast simple and smooth it is to use! The UI is intuitive and easy to use. No complicated menus or too much clutter. It just does what I need it to and nothing more or less. It’s a great app and is packed with helpful data that I used to have to lookup or find recommendations for start values on.

DaveThis app is the easiest to use for speed and feed calculations. The visual interface is excellent! When I’m trying to find the best parameters, being able to drag the tool up and down with constant recalculation is perfect. It lets me focus on my target without getting bogged down in data entry.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this amazing review!!!
This is a very simple and intuitive calculator, much simpler to use than most. However it needs more materials, various woods and plastics would be nice.
Developer Response
Thanks so much for this review! It’s great to hear you find the app intuitive and simple to use as this was a priority to me while developing Cutter. I have a big update on the way with some new features including data for plastics, I hadn’t thought of including wood cutting data but I’ll look into this. Thanks again, DavidA very good CNC calculator but the chip load table lacking an entry for acrylic, a very common material for CNC shops doing signs and prototypes.
Developer Response
Thanks for taking the time to review Cutter, it’s great to receive positive and constructive feedback. I will definitely look at adding cutting data for acrylics and composites in a future update.
Thanks again, David (contact@cutterapp.co.uk)
Very good App looks good on iPad too.
It’s a cool app but I wish it had a standard option not just metric
Developer Response
Thanks for the feedback, Cutter now includes the Standard US option.
Let me know your thoughts on the latest version. Thanks again
