Decision engine
Configure the setup
Set the job, holder, and cutting strategy fast. Open advanced fields only when needed.
Free machining tools, virtual toolbox products, and a direct path into the FreeCNC marketplace.
Check RPM, tap drill sizes, conversions, setup helpers, AI manufacturing tools, and live shop inventory from one place. FreeCNC is being built as a serious digital workspace for machinists, programmers, students, and growing shops.
Made for machinists, operators, setup techs, students, and people trying to break into CNC.
Useful on the floor, in class, and while building a smarter toolbox for the next move.

Virtual toolbox
Virtual toolbox
The free engine stays live on the page, and the virtual toolbox adds the next layer: saved setup workspaces, reusable templates, print support, and advanced machining assistance you can use as your needs grow.
Start here
These products are built for the jobs machinists run into most often: setup decisions, repeatable programming tasks, and faster blueprint review.
SFP-01 / LIVE WORKSPACE
Machine-specific setup
Saved setup defaults, exportable recommendation sheets, source trace, and machine-specific setup memory built on the live engine already running on the page.
Best for: shops that want saved defaults, repeatable setup decisions, and cleaner handoff from quick calculations into daily work.
MAC-02 / CONTROL TEMPLATES
Control-ready macros
Bolt circles, drilling patterns, repeat templates, and control-ready macro starting points.
Best for: programmers and setup users who want repeatable starting points for common cycles without rebuilding the same logic every time.
BPI-03 / BLUEPRINT REVIEW
Blueprint interpretation
Print-reading shortcuts, GD&T support, and structured print understanding for faster shop review.
Best for: students, operators, and newer programmers who want more confidence reading prints, callouts, and tolerancing details.
Advanced tools
These tools are for more advanced workflows: machine-code troubleshooting, print-to-model support, and better equipment and tooling discovery.
MBR-04 / EVIDENCE ROUTER
Machining intelligence
Ask about machine codes, alarm paths, and controller issues in plain language for the first promptable troubleshooting layer across Haas, Fanuc, and Siemens manuals.
Best for: shops that need a faster way to work through alarms, controller questions, and production issues with cited support behind the answer.
PTC-05 / GEOMETRY LAB
Print-to-model workflow
Print ingestion, OCR extraction, feature review, and the path toward CAD-ready handoff.
Best for: teams that want help turning prints into cleaner digital geometry, extracted features, and more structured model-ready handoff.
CWD-06 / SIGNAL WATCH
Watchlists and deals
Fresh machine listings, tooling deals, price watch, and curated buying signals that help the shop side of the platform turn into daily utility.
Best for: buyers and shop owners who want a cleaner way to track machine listings, tooling deals, and useful sourcing opportunities in one place.
Jobs
The daily jobs report now lives on its own page so the landing surface can stay focused on the live engine, the virtual toolbox, and the marketplace.
