    Time Estimates

    Does SprutCAM have the ability to give a time estimate for machining? I am using SprutCAM 7.

    Yes - Just move your mouse on top of any machining operation in the simulation pane (after the operation has been simulated, of course) and you will get the machining time estimate for that operation or move your mouse over top the machine in the hierarchy in the same pane and you will get the total time. - Terry

    By the way, is anyone seeing an issue with setting multiple cutting layers in the rotary machining operation in the public release V1?

    be aware - if you using hole machining instead holes 5d you can be very surprised for the times a simple hole can be done for more than 5hrs ;-) it just wrong calculate the drilling times.
