Most CNC shops are managing jobs the same way they did 20 years ago

Tribal knowledge. Scattered spreadsheets. Tool libraries that live in one programmer's head. MachiningCloud gives your shop a single system — for tools, jobs, and the data that connects them.

There's a better way than spreadsheets and tribal knowledge

How most shops manage today

  • Tool info scattered across CAM libraries, spreadsheets, and people's heads

  • Job planning done in the programmer's head or on paper

  • Setup knowledge walks out the door when experienced employees leave

  • Tool data manually re-entered across CAM, TMS, and the machine

With MachiningCloud

  • One structured tool inventory, shareable and searchable by the whole team

  • Repeatable job plans with operations, tools, feeds & speeds, and documentation

  • Institutional knowledge captured in the job record and accessible for future runs

  • One source of truth pushed directly into your CAM system in one click

Three pillars, one platform

Everything starts with good data. Here's where it goes.

01

Job Planning

Plan Jobs, Not Just Toolpaths

CAM generates the toolpath. MachiningCloud captures how the job is actually run — tools, sequence, and proven parameters — so the next programmer builds on real history instead of starting over.

  • Every job structured: part, material, machine, operations and tools

  • Machining recommendations you can trust, from manufacturer data

  • Proven setups shared across programmers and sites

  • With Tool Advisor, get suitable tools selected for you based on the intended operation

02

Tool Management

Organize your tools & inventory

Replace scattered spreadsheets and CAM libraries with one searchable tool and holder library — pre-loaded with manufacturer-verified data, and ready to build from the lists you already have.

  • Centralized, searchable library across every brand you run

  • Manufacturer-verified data, ISO-compatible and CAM/TMS-ready

  • Upload what you already have — no rebuilding from scratch

03

Data Integration

Connect the Shop Floor to Your Digital Workflow

Push clean, verified tool data straight into your CAM system, your TMS, and — when it’s time to reorder — MSC Industrial, so every team works from the same source of truth.

  • Direct export to the CAM systems you already run

  • Connects to your enterprise TMS, no re-entry required

  • Order tools through MSC Industrial without leaving the platform
