3D Cut Preview which simulates your milling job and shows you the results before you even turn on your Othermill.
Time Estimates
Support for tool changes in G-code: Otherplan now supports tool change commands in G-code files. You can now import the file and choose your tools. When it's time to change tools, Otherplan will pause your job and allow you to change the tool.
Upgraded Performance: Rewritten to be faster, more responsive, and seamlessly run on multiple platforms.

One of the great things about milling is that you can get all different styles of cuts by using different tools. Here is a list of some of Other Machine's favorites, but you can use any tool with a 1/8" shaft.

Warning! Do not use the following materials with your Othermill: Glass, FR-4 (fiberglass) PCBs (use FR-1 only), ceramics, harder stone, wood with high-pitch content, and softer rubber products.
