OVERVIEW

,,CNC Programming-Secrets Revealed provides practical “how-to” information that can immediately be put in use to improve ones programming skills, setting, and productivity. It's a valuable resource for everybody working in CNC Programming world."
Brian Ferguson

CNC Programming-Secrets Revealed Course has just become more valuable reference guide than ever! A new CD-ROM, packed with actual problem-solving projects and enhancing the material presented in the the Course. Students will find programming projects and exercises for most chapters, special CNC programming and machining projects, solutions to problems, and numerous reference files useful in CNC programming, as well as other utilities.

Contains a review of machining terms and procedures, many exercises and programming examples, and appendices with speeds and feeds and answers to cutting condition definitions.
Covers from basics to advanced CNC programming, with step-by-step coverage of machining processes, an introductory chapter on CAD/CAM, and an overview of MasterCAM.
Extraordinarily comprehensive, this most popular and authoritative reference CD course covers just about every possible subject a typical CNC programmer may encounter on a daily basis. Completely indexed to help the user quickly locate topics of interest, this CNC Course presents most common programming subjects in great depth and is equally applicable to both CNC milling and CNC turning operations. Many advanced subjects are also covered, thus making this an unusually comprehensive reference for machinists, programmers, engineers, and supervisors.

It is all packed in Adobe PDFfiles, students will be able to quickly and easily print and distribute any of the projects, exercises, and references. Meanwhile, students beginners as well as professionals will find this CD an effective self-study aid that allows them to help and enhance their understanding of the subject one topic at a time.
