SHEET METAL LAYOUT PROGRAMS ©For the CASIO™  FX-98xxG & CFX 9860G Series Calculators

These programs were designed for Bench and Field use, primarily for the CUSTOM SHEET METAL Trade; however they can be used by most trades, Air Cond. Trade, Welding Trades, Insulating Trades, Plumbing Trades, Carpenter Trades, Masonry Trades, Machine Shops, Used great with AutoCad for special fittings & more. I consider this “Program/Calculator” combination a very useful TOOL rather than a computer because its portable and you can take it anywhere, on any job and use it on the spot.    I wrote the "VISUAL" manual that comes with it for people that can read pictures & drawings easier than they can read and understand written words of instruction, you, in a way, use the MANUAL like a PC Monitor.  The calculator prompts you for Specific Inputs and gives you specific Outputs by name so there is no guessing what it is trying to relate to you. The best way to use this Manual is to just sit down and relax with calculator in hand and go thru each of the Layouts “Input’s & Output’s” that are shown in the manual, remember you don’t need to know the math, and look where each dimension is shown and where the A to B,  B to C Etc. points are placed and where the equal spacings  are placed.  If you do this everything will make sense and it will become very user friendly and you probably won’t need to use the Manual much. All of the programs read in DECIMAL form first, then reads in FRACTIONAL form second, to the closest 32nd of an inch, plus or minus a 64th, (Default) of the Decimal readout, This makes it easier for the average person to read fractions if he/she is not familiar with decimals. Don't let the the look's of the Calculator Intimidate you. You use the Calculator just like the simplest calculator. The programs themselves use all the fancy Trig Buttons and do all the math for you. All you do is punch in the numbers it's asking you for to do a particular Layout or Utility, and it gives you the dimensions in the correct order of use every time you hit the "EXE" Button, that you will apply to the material by using your standard layout tools as usual. There are over 45 Major programs in this calculator. Its not a gimmick or a toy. Its a hell of a TOOL and well worth the price! You will be able to compete with the top layout people, and its dead accurate!! This TOOL works well with most trades, in the shop and the field. Excellent UTILITY Programs!
