I may be a 70ish luddite but prefer and enjoy the old fashioned way. I was teaching G Code in the 90s , D&T got a load of Denfords. But we all liked to get into the "Old workshop" kids used to say it was much more fun.

One that could pre-heat my workshop, then teleport me to it in mid winter.

Failing that:

Judging by many recent posts, one that gives recommended cutting speeds for various materials (at different diameters etc), might be useful to lots of people.

Wheres the like button.

One thing that does me in every time is that all tool manufacturers making it hard/impossible for you to see the correct tip for chosen tool.

I would quite fancy an proggy where i input the tool code and type of material its used on- Up pops the correct tip for the job. Surprised no one has done that.

Currently work around this one where a catalogue of tools in separate tool holders give differing offsets. There again could do that with both digital readouts.
