ISBN 0-9705309-0-0
Introducing a new book that simplifies the task of learning CNC programming. From this step-by-step guide you will learn: CNC Machine G & M codes CNC Machine coordinate systems The syntax of the CNC programming language About CNC Machine positioning and interpolation CNC Machine use of Cartesian/Rectangular coordinates How to program the most common CNC Machine canned cycles. MYTH #1 - It costs a lot of money to learn CNC programming. In the past, your choices were to spend thousands of dollars to send individuals to specialized CNC training programs. Or, you could have spent hundreds of dollars to purchase video or CD-ROM based training programs. BUT NOW, for a fraction of those costs, your key personnel can learn the CNC basics from my book 7 Easy Steps to CNC Programming...A Beginner's Guide. MYTH #2 - It takes a lot of time away from the company to learn CNC programming. Often the inconvenience of sending key personnel away for training is more troublesome than the actual expenses involved. BUT NOW your important staff members can learn the concepts of CNC programming without leaving your facility. 7 Easy Steps to CNC Programming...A Beginner's Guide provides you with a self-paced, self-directed approach to learning CNC programming concepts. MYTH #3 - It is difficult to learn CNC programming. As with any technical subject, instruction methods are usually developed by design engineers who often teach over the heads of their audience. BUT NOW these seemingly complex programming concepts have been demystified in the 7 Easy Steps to CNC Programming...A Beginner's Guide. By using everyday examples and layman's terminology, learning CNC programming has never been easier. MYTH #4 - Only CNC programmers and operators need to understand the concepts of CNC programming. In the past it did not seem necessary for managers, supervisors or engineers to understand the concepts of CNC programming. BUT NOW increasing competition, shrinking margins and high employee turnover demands that people communicate more effectively between disciplines. 7 Easy Steps to CNC Programming...A Beginner's Guide makes it possible for everyone, regardless of their primary job assignment, to understand CNC programming concepts. 7 Easy Steps to CNC Programming...A Beginner's Guide is a manual specifically created for beginning programmers, engineers, supervisors and other personnel that support CNC operations.
