1. A machining simulator for providing haptic feedback to a user, said machining simulator comprising:
a processor coupled to a simulation machine, said processor configured to receive at least one input from said simulation machine to define at least one variable corresponding to a simulation;
wherein said at least one variable is defined within a database accessible to said simulator;
upon receipt of the at least one input into said simulation machine, generating a haptic feedback response if the at least one input is greater than or less than a defined range within said database; and
further comprising a drill configured for engaging with a virtual material wherein there are at least three variables defined within the database, said at least three variables corresponding to a depth of the drill in the virtual material, a rotational speed and acceleration at which the drill is moving, and a coulomb friction torque on the drill.
