CNC Workshop for Beginners: Computer Numerical Control

The goal of this course is to teach persons with a technical background how to program and operate Computer Numerical Control (CNC) mills and lathes.

This course bridges the gap between what persons with a technical education know and what they must know to begin using CNC machine tools. The types of parts, materials and machining operations that engineers, innovators, and niche manufacturers often use are featured. Work holding techniques well suited to prototype and short-run production are detailed and used in the examples.
