No, but there are alternatives (https://cockloftsoftware.wordpress.com/), if you can't find it. :)

John,

Wootz (Vadim of Knife Grinders) was a friend and someone I regard highly. His untimely demise was a blow to the Tormek community. That said, unfortunately any updates to his work stopped with his passing. Continuing to use his app at this point will increasingly become like trying to navigating a ship with outdates charts.

I have no expertise with the various apps which have since popped up at least temporarily. I am also a Mac user. That stated, I have occasionally used CB's Calcapp program with good results. It is user friendly, simple but effective, and he keeps it up to date. As an active member of this forum, we also know how to reach him. My advice for you would be to switch to Calcapp, or at least try it. It is a free program.

Ken
