Climbing a Tree to Harvest Turnips,
By
This review is from: Computer Numerical Control: Concepts & Programming (Hardcover)
The cover tells us that the author is a computer systems analyst. This does not qualify him to write about CNC. I suspect that he got his hands on a Fanuc System 6 sometime in the 1980's and declared himself an expert after a few hours of fiddling. I am astonished that the Society of Manufacturing Engineers would put their name on this book which reminds me of Mark Twain's story of sending a boy up a tree to harvest turnips. There could be a benefit when someone outside the industry looks at what we do with new eyes and ears. It is not as if our own industry's authors are casting their explanation of CNC in a vocabulary of contemporary technological sensibilities. They are stuck in the 1970's and have never been able to explain properly such basic CNC features as interpolation. Coming from nowhere, however, Mr. Seamas flops around with no ability to descern when by accident he happens upon something fresh. He doesn't have the experience (nor, I doubt the prerequisite engineeringing education) to recognize this to do anything with it. In addition, the book fails badly as a basic primer on CNC. The lowest score an Amazon reviewer can give a book is "1" star, but really, this book is a zero. You are better off with any number of books by other authors.

NOVICE BOOK OF PROGRAMMING Computer Numerical Control.,
By ogbodo chudy uzondu (CISTERNA DI LATINA, (LT.) ITALY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: CNC: Concepts and Programming (Hardcover)
I will advice any body that wants to study Computer Numerical Control programming should go for this Bible. What makes it unique is its Chapter 8 that introduces Math for Numerical control Programming and using EVENTS to teach step by step formats. I will not fail to thank the Autor(W. S. SEAMES) for the glossary that helped me a lot to sale through whenever I meet new word. DO YOU WANT TO PASS THIS EXAM? THIS IS THE BOOK.
