Here are some comments from people who use programs from Close Tolerance Software to help them make a living. They're saving time and getting things right the first time. They're making more money.
"I've been using the program since it's inception in the mid 90's and have watched it get better with each new version."
"Using the Job Planner, I'm able to quote new jobs within seconds of actual run times and within pennies of actual cost. Being able to play "what-if" with different tooling or even between different Machining Centers is a great benefit."
"The extensive amount of data available is also a valuable resource to the machine operators for finding speeds/feeds, drill depths, tap drill sizes and much more."
"The Thread Data module is the most comprehensive I have ever used. It's much more useful and informative than the Machinists Handbook or any other reference book. And the printed report gives you all the information you need at a glance."

"When I consider all the time spent looking up machining information from books and on-line sources it makes me doubly appreciative of MEPro."
"Its straightforward interface, with an astounding amount of available information with just a few clicks, makes MEPro a big winner for me."
"I especially like the never-satisfied approach that Michael Rainey has in regards to updates and improvements."

"MEPro is one of the fastest easiest programs I've ever used for estimating and for generating data for my process drawings."
"It has a very small footprint on my machine, has never crashed, and is extremely accurate."
"It's a time saver for me on a daily basis. It does everything that programs costing 10x as much do and more."
"For engineers and machinists alike it's a great program to purchase and have at the ready on your desktop."

"I use MEPro as an adjunct to machine design. I use it to estimate the cost of each floor-to-floor operation. It is amazing how it focuses your thinking (or that of your client) when you can show how much that latest bell or whistle is really going to cost."
"You get one whale of a bang for a buck with MEPro."

"Finally a one stop shop for machining right at my fingertips. I have always used slip sticks and a myriad of dedicated speed and feed calculators for guesstimating cycle times for quotes. Now I can plan out my job and get real cycle times in minutes. This saves me time and gives me confidence in quoting that I previously didn't have."
"Once I get the job I use the same speeds and feeds in my CAM software to start right out machining with practical parameters."
"The threading information is second to none I have seen. I can order tooling knowing I am in the proper parameters whether I am making a JIS or a UNJF thread. No need for me to keep up with all the standards."
"I appreciate software written by a person that knows what I need to know and presents it in an easy to understand format. A great value for the quite modest initial investment!"

"I can't tell you enough how much of a help your software is. Anyone who has to work with nonstandard diameters (optics) and has looked in machinist handbook for thread specs and formulas will immediately see the benefit of ME ThreadPal."

"you have a wonderful product at a fair price..."
"I am doing lots of different metric threads and get tired of looking in machineries and doing calculations, so I found it very useful."

"Thanks for providing this excellent software. I've needed something like this for years, even made several abortive attempts to do it myself. I now use your program almost daily."
"Your program is such a big help to our company. We run a lot of odd threads and it saves so much time to just plug in the numbers and get the info we need. Thanks for your help."
"Now I can spend more time doing the work instead of the calculating and checking the calculations."
"Thank You! What a wonderful program you have created."
"Thanks for the support. It is refreshing to actually have someone offer SERVICE."
"My name is Scott and I work for Swissturn/USA. I'd like to say that your ThreadPal program is great. Big timesaver."
"I have used your software, and I love it. I have spread the word to a few other associates, and they are planning a visit to your website to view your other products, also."
Thank you again.
Thank you again.
