From the Back Cover
The CNC Workbook, the only CNC-related text with simulation software, is a flexible, unique package where the programming code that is learned and generated by the student can either be sent to an actual machine or to the simulation software. It is an excellent simulation and animation tool for milling and turning, which can be used to test existing programs or write and edit new ones.
This book covers the basics of Computer Numerical Control programming, including step-by-step coverage of machining proceses, fundamentals of CNC and basic CNC programming concepts. It can be used as a stand-alone text in a hands-on CNC course or can be used as a supplement in a comprehensive manufacturing process or numerical controls course. The book and software package is an excellent instruction tool for CNC programming.
Highlights:
- The only CNC-related text with simulation software that can replace or supplement actual machining experience. Students can learn basic part programming without actually using a CNC Mill and Lathe.
- The simulation software features interactive editing of part programs. The part shape is constantly updated as each new line of CNC code is added or changed.
- Covers the basics of CNC programming with step-by-step coverage of machining processes, an introductory chapter on CAD/CAM, and an overview of MasterCAM.
- Contains a review of machining terms and procedures, many exercises and programming examples, and appendices with speeds and feeds and answers to exercises.
Hardware Requirements:
8086, 80286, or higher personal computer;
DOS 3.0 or higher;
EGA or VGA graphics;
Minimum 1 MB hard drive disk space; 640K memory;
2 or 3 button mouse;
3.5" high density floppy disk drive

Too Many errors- software likes to crash,
By ken daley (Calgary, AB, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The CNC Workbook: An Introduction to Computer Numerical Control (Paperback)
This book is poorly written, contains many errors in programming method and is also missing a lot of crucial CNC topics.The software crashes constantly and is also inflexible and inaccurate. I don't recommend this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Too many mistakes, badly written,
By Brad Fullerton (Iowa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The CNC Workbook: An Introduction to Computer Numerical Control (Paperback)
I don't think this should be sold as a CNC schoolbook because it has too little information and the software doesn't work good.
