A thinking partner that knows machining
Your second set of eyes, on every job
Built around your machines, your tooling, your way of doing things.
Every job is full of judgment calls
Order of operations, tooling, feeds and speeds, whether it'll chatter, whether the fixture will hold - and most of the time, you're the one making those calls alone.
The answers are out there somewhere - manuals, catalogs, forum threads, some guy's notebook. The hard part is finding the piece that applies to your machine, your material, your tolerance, today.
So you double-check, you dig, you second-guess. And mistakes still make it to the machine.
That's why we built Swarf
Somebody you can talk shop with. Bring what you've got, a drawing, a program, a problem you're stuck on, and work through it together. See how Swarf reviews a drawing.
And Swarf knows your shop. Your machines, your tooling, your materials - they're all part of the conversation.
And when you get a job dialed in, Swarf keeps the details - the numbers, the setup, what made it work. The next time something like it comes through, you're not starting from scratch. See how to capture your shop's tribal knowledge.
Built by machinists
We're machinists, programmers, and engineers with nearly 100 years of combined CNC experience. We built Swarf because we lived these problems — the second-guessing, the scrapped parts, the answer that took all morning to find.
Swarf's still early, and we're building it with the community, with people like you.
Come talk to Swarf about whatever's on your bench right now.
