CNC Programming Guide: A Beginner's Guide On How To Learn CNC Programming

While a pretty good overview of cnc machine setup for metal work, it does not show very much programming. Introduces the g-codes and thats it. My main complaint about this book is that the index and items in the book mentions 6 appendices but there are none in the book. These would appear to be excellent references to have but alas they are missing. AHA, searching for errata for this book I found the book on line in pdf form with appendices written by another author (Fundamentals of CNC Machining by Autodesk). This book seems to be a copy of that one.

It is a good reference book. Not quite as detailed as I had hoped but good none the less.

This book claims to be a guide for the beginner. It is not. Instead, it appears to be a guide for how a machine shop (or a school) should train beginners/apprentices. It seems to include lesson plans, but no real lessons.

Garbage. Do not buy this book. The author can't even write an accurate table of contents. No index. That's the smallest of the problems with this book. STAY AWAY !!
