Job Planning

Plan Jobs. Not Just Toolpaths.

MachiningCloud captures how a job is actually run — tools, sequence, parameters — so the next programmer starts ahead, not from zero.

Write it down once. Run it every time after that.

Every operation

tools & parameters attached

Zero re-entry

parameters carry job to job

across programmers and sites

What a job record gives you

Every job you plan in MachiningCloud comes with this, out of the box.

Feeds & speeds captured in the job record, not one programmer's memory

New hires start from the shop's real history, not a blank file

Job plans shared across programmers and across sites

Manufacturer-based feeds & speeds as a confident starting point

Setup notes saved with the job and carried into the next run

A library of known-good setups that grows more valuable over time

Structure the Job, Not Just the Toolpath

A job is more than a file in your CAM system. MachiningCloud gives every job a home: part, material, machine, due date, and every operation in sequence, with tools and assemblies assigned to each one.

  • Create jobs with part, material, machine and due-date information

  • Define and sequence every operation

  • Assign tools and assemblies to each operation

  • See the whole job at a glance

Start From Proven Parameters, Not Guesswork

The first cut on a new job shouldn’t be a guess. MachiningCloud offers machining recommendations based on material and operation, using manufacturer feeds and speeds as a starting point instead of trial-and-error at the machine.

  • Machining recommendations by material and operation

  • Manufacturer-based feeds & speeds as a floor

  • Confidence running an unfamiliar material

Capture Knowledge So It Compounds

The best setup notes are the ones from the last time you ran this part. MachiningCloud captures proven parameters and setup notes with the job, and shares them across programmers and sites — so the next run starts ahead, not from scratch.

  • Proven parameters & setup notes saved with the job

  • Shared across programmers and across sites

  • A library of known-good setups that grows in value

Let Tool Advisor Find the Right Tool

Picking between similar inserts, holders or endmills used to mean flipping through catalogs or asking whoever’s been at the machine the longest. Tool Advisor narrows the field to what actually fits the job.

  • Recommendations based on material and operation

  • Compares options across brands

  • Narrow selection based on your own preferences and criteria
