As the name suggests, CNC sTaper FREE is the free version of SHIN yong weon’s paid utility app CNC sTaper. While both versions allow you to determine a taper’s coordinates, the non-premium variant does not include a converter unit. Unfortunately, beginners can find this tool difficult to use and understand.

Aids in computation

CNC sTaper FREE features several module buttons representing a particular taper shape. The rotate button, meanwhile, lets you turn the taper in a certain direction and can be used in conjunction with the two horizontal and vertical bars surrounding the said button.

These bars indicate the line direction. In addition, tapping any of the four tool corner radius buttons prompts the app to place an angle symbol in the upper or lower corners of the circle. However, this tool should only be used by individuals knowledgeable in machinery and advanced mathematics.

Hard to use

CNC sTaper FREE comes with practical features for helping you calculate a taper’s coordinates, such as the module and the tool corner radius buttons. Unfortunately, its functions are difficult to understand if you have little to no knowledge of mathematics and machinery.
