Book Description

0831131772 978-0831131777 September 1, 2003
This unique text presents a thorough introduction to Mastercam Mill for students with little or no prior experience. It can be used in virtually any educational setting -- from four-year engineering schools to community colleges and voc/tech schools to industrial training centers -- and will also serve as a reliable reference for on-the-job use or as a self-study manual. The award-winning authors have carefully arranged the contents in a clear and logical sequence and have used many hundreds of visuals instead of wordy explanations. An enclosed CD contains Mastercam Demo V. 9 and also includes examples and exercises from the text for student practice. Learning Mastercam Mill Step by Step is sure to become a valuable resource for anyone learning or using Mastercam Mill — overwhelmingly, the leading software of its type in industry.
  • Student-friendly graphical displays are emphasized in lieu of long text and definitions.
  • Includes an overview of the process of generating a word address program.
  • Examples provide step-by-step instructions with graphical displays.
  • Eliminates flipping between pages by featuring all explanations on the same page as the example.
  • Contains exercises at the end of each chapter.
  • Features a process plan for many machining exercises to indicate the machining operations to be performed and the tools to be used.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is an absolute must for every Mastercam novice, January 19, 2005
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Learning Mastercam Mill Step by Step: Book & CD (Paperback)
For sure this book does not teach you anything about mold and die machining. It does not teach how to run a Bridgeport or how to get rid of burrs. You wiil not learn how to use a micrometer or grind a drill. What this book does very well is to teach a beginner how to use Mastercam Software. A person who never used a computer can learn the software by just simply following the instructions. I wish I can rate this book with 10 stars. It certainly deserves it. I highly recommend this book as an aid for teaching Mastercam in schools as well as for the industry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awsome learning package for the beginner, December 16, 2004
By 
This review is from: Learning Mastercam Mill Step by Step: Book & CD (Paperback)
I own a small machine shop and had no time to take classes on Mastercam. I was fortunate that someone recommended "Learning
Mastercam Mill Step by Step". This book helped me to make up my mind to purchase Mastercam software.In a very short time I was able to write programs for my 2D parts. The authors put together a complete learning package which includes a CD containing the student version of Mastercam V9 and accompanying tutotials and exercises for me to practice. The book is well written with clear graphics which I found is easier to follow than lots of text definitions. I wish there is a similar Mastercam book on turning. Thank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not only respectable, but highly recommended, March 23, 2004
By 
This review is from: Learning Mastercam Mill Step by Step: Book & CD (Paperback)
While a co-worker was spending hundreds of dollars to learn Mastercam at the local college, I learned as much at the same pace at home with this fine book. It should be sub-titled as a tutorial. The book begins assuming you know nothing about CAD or CAM. It carefully explains in a straight-forward method all you need to know. Everything is done in sequence so each excercise teaches new commands to be used. It is a great primer for new users learning Mastercam Mill. I have shared it with experienced users at work as a reference manual for 2-D machining. The book comes with a Students disk containing Mastercam software and exercises, to help you learn. This was a real time-saver for me. I would recommend this book to all beginners and professionals.
