3.0 out of 5 stars A well written book, but a little outdated, November 8, 2002
By 
terry (Liverpool, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: An Introduction to CNC Machining and Programming (Hardcover)
The book covers most of the basics, but it is poorly illustrated and doesn't deal with any of the more modern advancements in CNC technology.

Recommended- P Smid, CNC Programming Handbook
