    Figure the Best Cut Width and Cut Depth

    How do you know when you’ve got the best Cut Depth and Cut Width? These two parameters matter more than almost any other for best Speeds and Feeds.

    G-Wizard will find the best combination to keep tool deflection under control while maximizing Material Removal Rate. No other software can.

    Adjusts to Your Needs

    Are you looking to maximize tool life or material removal rates? Do you have a small CNC machine or a big industrial machine? Are you trying to hog out a bunch of chips or achieve the best possible surface finish?

    G-Wizard makes it easy to dial in exactly
    the results you are looking for.

    Speeds and Feeds for Wood

    G-Wizard has over 1000 materials in its Materials Database, including hundreds of species of wood. It individually adjusts feeds and speeds for each wood species you select to get the best results.

    Tool Types Especially for CNC Routers             

    G-Wizard handles more tool types than other software can. Best of all, it has built-in support for the special cutter bits common to CNC Routers such as Downcut, Compression, and Straight Flute cutters.

    CAD/CAM Wizards: An Expert in the Box

    How often do you get to experiment with hundreds of different feed and speed combinations to find the best one for your job?

    CADCAM Wizards will do that for you automatically in a matter of seconds and without asking too many questions. It’s like having a machining expert sitting at your shoulder telling you the right combination for the win–another G-Wizard first!

    Extensive Tool Crib & Tool Coverage

    G-Wizard Calculator handles more different kinds of tooling than any other Speeds and Feeds Calculator.

    Import and Export tables from CSV files, use Manufacturer’s Recommended Data, define tool geometry, and use dozens of tool types for Mills, Routers (special router cutters handled) and Lathes.

    End Mill Speed and Feed: Coatings (including PCD) & Geometry (Ballnose, Upcut, Downcut, Compression, and more)

    Drill Feeds and Speeds: Carbide, HSS, and Parabolic

    Turning and Lathe Tools

    Reamers, Saws, Woodruff Cutters, Corner Rounders, Tapping, Thread Mills, and Boring Heads

    High Speed Machining Calculator 

    High Speed Machining. It’s almost magic the way it increases productivity while saving tool life.

    But figuring HSM feeds and speeds can also take magic, unless you have G-Wizard Calculator.

    Feeds and Speeds for HSM are easy. Chip Thinning, Adaptive Clearing, and Trochoidal Milling are covered. It evens tells you how much to slow down in corners for non-HSM toolpaths.

    Speeds and Feeds Charts: Obsolete

    Throw away those old speeds and feeds charts and pdfs.

    A chart is only 2 dimensional. It takes multiple charts to cover maybe 3 or 4 dimensions. They give you ranges that are tough to interpret when you just want the answer.

    G-Wizard’s cutting physics engine considers nearly 60 variables. No chart will ever do that!

    Tame Chatter in Machining

    Chatter is a fact of life in production work. It kills tools and drives you crazy.

    G-Wizard gives you a comprehensive tool kit to tame machine tool chatter. Calculate optimal spindle speeds to minimize it. Track it in your Cut Knowledge Base to avoid it on future jobs.

    Stop Part Pop Off from Vacuum Tables

    If you use a vacuum table you know what a pain it is when your parts pop off the table. G-Wizard has the ability to provide feeds and speeds that limit cutting forces based on your part so it won’t pop off.

    Quit scrapping parts because they pop off your vacuum table!

    Easy for Beginners, even with small CNC Routers

    G-Wizard is not just for Pros, we’ve got beginners and hobbyists covered too.

    G-Wizard has the exclusive ability to adjust feeds and speeds to compensate for the lower rigidity of entry-level CNC machines.

    G-Wizard Calculator has machine profiles for the Carbide3D Nomad and Shapeoko already built-in. You can modify these for the specs of your own CNC Router–even DIY Routers. Plus G-Wizard will adjust feeds and speeds to account for the rigidity of
    your machine. No more one size fits all feeds and speeds!.

    Plus, we offer free training courses, built in Getting Started Tours, Examples, and much more. CNCCookbook is the world’s most comprehensive free online information resource for CNC’ers. Take advantage of it with G-Wizard!

    Semi Closed-Loop System™

    The STEPCRAFT M.1400 machine will automatically realign the gantry after each reference run when homing the machine.  The included Semi-Closed Loop System gives you the additional insurance of step monitoring in your CNC system. If the system detects a deviation from predefined steps from any motor, such as in the event of a crash or incorrect settings, the emergency stop is triggered automatically and your workpiece is protected. Then you simply correct the error, reference the machine and continue your job where you left off. 

    Precision Linear Guides

    Every axis of the M.1400 utilizes precision hardened linear guide rails from Bosch Rexroth.  These recirculating ball bearing linear rails provide a high load-bearing capacity, extremely reliable performance with no wear.  A special seal is built into every bearing carriage to protect the linear guide system from dust and debris, giving you a reliable, virtually maintenance-free CNC guide system. German-based Bosch Rexroth is a global leader in the manufacturing of precision ball bearing linear guide systems. Only the finest components are used in the STEPCRAFT M-Series CNC machines which gives you high performance and a very accurate CNC system.

    Highly Stable Frame Profiles

    The frame profiles are one of many areas where STEPCRAFT really excels and is constantly setting new standards with regards to the stability and design of CNC machines.  The custom extruded frame profiles are the result of countless hours of design engineering and testing utilizing the best in CAD/CAM and analysis software.  These design elements create a high force absorption and even distribution of the forces within the axis.  An extremely high torsional stiffness is achieved this way.  The STEPCRAFT frame profiles offer a level of stability that is not possible with steel.

    STRONG DRIVE SYSTEM

    The STEPCRAFT M.1400 works with maximum precision and accuracy and runs quietly and vibration-free thanks to the included HIWIN® ball screws . The powerful NEMA 23 motors drive the CNC controlled machine powerfully through a wide variety of materials.
