Tool Manager

I made this tool manager for the second generation QtDragon, but there's no reason it couldn't be a standalone application. Currently, you can assign tools to groups, such as Drills, spiral upcuts, whatever. Each tool can be assigned material specific cutting parameters and the running time for each tool is tracked according to how long it was in the spindle while a program was running. The linuxcnc tool table is the source of truth and tools can only be added or removed by editing the tool table. The database can be exported to csv or html.  I'm not a machinist, so this was only a guess on my part about what kind of data to record. Looking for suggestions on features, changes, etc. Regards.

Thank you very much for everything you do.

Have you seen:

loobric.com/blog/introducing-smooth-tool-data-sync

github.com/loobric/smooth-core ?

Seems like a cool project but not really relevant. My tool manager is just a plugin for the QtDragon screen to manage metadata for the linuxcnc tool table. It is not concerned with synchronizing other tool table formats, though if it did, I think Fusion360 and Vectric databases would be good candidates.

hey persei8

would be great to set this up on a cnc mill when i get time

Did you add it to the LinuxCNC repo or do you plan so?
Would be nice to have it in the sources if not already there.
