Everything in this book is available free on the author's website. The material is so general as to be of no use.

I wanted to get into CNC but I had no clue where to start. I was piecing information together from a variety of places when I found this book. My friend turned me onto it and I'm glad he did. I went from clueless to knowing what direction to start my new CNC hobby. Although this book is informational, it also tells a story of how this person got into CNC which makes it easy and fun to read. Ivan also gives great unbiased reviews on CAD/CAM design software and breaks down GCode into terms I could understand. I'll be looking for his intermediate level book next.

I picked this book up after a buddy online reccomended it to me. I was trying to figure out CNC. I have heard about building machines in your garage to work on various projects. CNC wood routers seem to be the most popular. There wasn't a website out there that put all the steps to cnc out there and in order. I needed an overview of the entire process. That is what this book does. Gives you a clue before you jump in completely.
I like the writing style as well. relaxed and colorful. Gives you solid info and is an easy read.

if you just put your first step in the CNC world believe me you need this book , you will learn alot of the basic things , and yes it's availabe online but this book is a shortcut for you to get every thing ready .
for the people who already stepped in the field there is nothing to do with this book , try to find something more advanced .

I should have known that any book purporting to know secrets is a mistake. This book has nothing new to add to the information available in other CNC books of lower cost. The reviews giving it anything more than 2 stars must be close friends of the author or the same.
