Quick answer

Spindle speed calculator and belt position advisor for drill presses

F-Droid repository metadata

Calculates the spindle speeds of a belt-driven drill press and recommends the optimal belt position for a given drill diameter and material.

Describe your machine once — motor speed, pulley stacks, belts — and the app computes every achievable spindle speed, draws the transmission diagram, and tells you which belt position to use for the hole you are about to drill.

Features:

* Interactive transmission diagram showing the current belt path * Speed advisor: enter a drill diameter and a material, get the best belt position * Complete speed table for all belt combinations * Machine editor with support for multiple machines (create, switch, delete) * Metric and imperial units * Interface in English and French * Fully offline, no permissions, no tracking

How to install

  1. Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
  2. Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
  3. Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
  4. If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.
