CompCalc [New non-public module]
Allows calculation of the grinding angle compensation if wheels with different diameters are used for grinding.
It is a problem which, as far as I know, was first described by Gilles in this post and calculated using the Polishing angle calc, which is still available there. CompCalc is based on Polishing angle calc, all credit belongs to Gilles.
Although this phenomenon may not be visible on wheels with a similar diameter and small blade thicknesses, it can cause problems with thicker blades (eg. chisels) and when switching from a smaller wheel to a larger one (eg. 200 mm coarse wheel on T-4 and 250 mm fine wheel on T-8).
You can find more about this phenomenon in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_qRUvSvcLQ
BatchCalc [Non-public module]
The whole module for batch sharpening has been significantly redesigned so that new functions can be built into it.
The step generation procedure has been completely reworked. Now the grit of the wheels is also taken into account, proceeding from the coarsest to the finest. If grit is not specified (or is not a number), it is assumed to be the honing wheel that is placed at the end.
New unique functionality for grinding on wheels with different diameters has been added. It is a compensation layer that automatically calculates grinding angle corrections when moving from a smaller wheel to a larger one. There are two types of compensation, and using this feature brings unexpected grinding benefits...

Attention: For several different reasons, I have decided that these modules will be freely available only to contributors and donors. There is a lot of work, time and know-how behind the development. If in doubt, please compare what the public version of TormekCalc2 (even the oldest) offers compared to commercially available applications. If you have further questions, you can send me a private message or e-mail message (see FAQ sheet in TormekCalc2).
Materials
Added Hitachi GIN-3 and GIN-5 steels to the material table.
