Smart phones are not everyones cup of tea but there is no denying they are damn useful tools. We scoured iTunes looking for the best apps for metalworkers and where possible tried to find a free option. There are lots of geometry and maths calculators that are out there which no doubt most people reading this will find useful which I haven’t included as they are generally easier to come accross. Also we found a lot of welding apps mainly aimed toward the heavy industrial user rather than someone reading this page could get use from.
