About this app

Eliminate trial-and-error machine setups and ensure consistency across every production run with LatheLog, the ultimate digital workshop companion for lathe operators and machinists. This intuitive application serves as a dedicated process library to record critical turning sequences, optimize cutting parameters, and maintain precision documentation for every component you manufacture.

Key Features:
Comprehensive Part Profiling: Build detailed digital operation cards for your components. Log vital technical information, including part names/numbers, raw stock dimensions, geometry notes, required surface finishes, tolerances, and precise physical setup parameters.

Standardized Material Classification: Quickly categorize your projects using recognized material groups, including Steel (P), Stainless Steel (M), Cast Iron (K), Aluminum (N), Titanium (S), Copper (N), Nickel Alloy (S), and Plastics.

Integrated Speed & Feed Calculator: Access a built-in cutting-data calculator to compute optimal spindle speeds and feed rates tailored to your selected workpiece material and specific insert grades.

Proactive Tool-Life Tracking: Monitor insert indexing intervals directly from the dashboard. Track accumulated cutting time per material group and receive active visibility status alerts before carbide tooling limits are reached.

Sequential Operation Logging: Map out consecutive turning passes by chaining your parameters together. Record depth of cut, targeted speeds, feed rates, and specific insert configurations sequentially for every single pass.

Customizable Workshop Preferences: Configure settings to align with your shop's physical environment. Easily toggle between Imperial (SFM, IPR) and Metric measurement systems, change calculator recommendation biases, and customize automated tool-life warnings.
