I bought the HSMAdvisor program (it’s their full desktop program) and they give you the Pro version of this app for free. They both work great. The desktop program is the best I’ve tried for feeds and speeds and having the Pro version of FSWizard for nice for quick reference. I definitely recommend it

A new feature is center drill depth very nice but .......... center drills come in both 90 and 60 degree included angles. With no reference on the drawing we do not know with which we are dealing. Maybe you can add the nomenclature or note in a upcoming revision. And hint, hint have the feature to compute either in a further revision. Also you might reference the point length and angle. As you know by your advertised ‘tonns’ of experience - it is the little things in machining that are the biggest help! But overall a nice go to app and thank you!

If you’ve been given time for breaks, a pop-up window will appear indicating that you have a bank of timer pauses when you click the Start Test button. This bank allows you to:

A Public Service Commission assessment specialist will determine the accommodation measures to be provided. If you’ve requested accommodation, you’ll be invited to take the test after being informed about the accommodation measures provided to you.

Do not delay, because your allotted time for completing the test elapses even while you are logged out of the system.

Located in the top left corner, the Test Instructions tab displays navigation instructions and information about your test. If you select test instructions during the test, the test timer will still continue to count down.
