Book Description
The CNC Workshop is the only Computer Numerical Control (CNC) text and multimedia package currently available. This flexible, unique package provides many benefits that can't be found in stand-alone texts. Using the multimedia CD-ROM, students can visualize CNC concepts through vivid animations, virtually visit machine shops through videoclips of processes and machine tools, and view numerous examples. The CD also features CNCez, simulation software that actually allows students to program numerical control code and then see a simulation of the tool path or process that the code would generate. The code can also be sent to an actual machine. This package is an excellent simulation and animation tool for milling and turning and can be used to test existing programs or write and edit new programs.

This package covers the basics of CNC programming, including step-by-step coverage of machining processes, fundamentals of CNC, and basic CNC programming concepts. It can be used as a stand-alone package 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 CD package is an excellent instruction tool for CNC programming and many of the animations and videoclips can be used for classroom presentation.

Features:

This is the only CNC educational package with simulation software that can replace or supplement actual machining experience. Students can learn basic part programming without actually using a CNC mill or 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.

The flexible workbook and CD format allows students to read from the workbook, view on-screen content, or listen to audio clips, depending on their learning styles and needs.

This package covers the basics of CNC programming with step-by-step coverage of machining processes, an introduction to CAD/CAM, and an overview of EdgeCAM and MasterCAM.

This package contains a review of machining terms and procedures, many exercises and programming examples, and appendices with speeds and feeds and answers to exercises.

I don't know how these guys do what they have done for the price. First let me say this is a totally unsolicited review of a great training tool. I am journeyman machinist, who teaches CNC operators for a large Fortune 500 company and I also teach at 2 local community colleges. I have over 25 years experience in the field of machining and teaching. One of the colleges recently received a training contract for a small job shop with limited funds, so I got on the net to price a Torcomp product I have used in the past "The CNC Workbook" and I ran across a new product "The CNC Workshop". I sent for a copy figuring same stuff different package, was I shocked, anyone or school with a PC can have a complete CNC training course right out of the box. I have reviewed numerous CNC training materials over the years, and have written my own, but this is the very best ever. I have seen many with prices in the thousands that cannot touch this package. "The CNC Workshop" can be used as part of an instructor lead class or can use by individuals to learn on their own. I am worried about my teaching job once "The CNC Workshop" gets out<grin>.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

No book or CNC simulation program I have ever come across is perfect(the world is not perfect). This book and multimedia CD package is no exception, it has a few flaws. I can live with the flaws because the quality and value of the material is super! Nowhere will you find a CNC training package this good at this ridiculously low price!!! This is not college level text and it shouldn't be. The average machinist reads on a 7th grade reading level. I've used training material costing thousands of dollars and the trainees were so intimidated that half of them struggled. The CNC Workshop package gets rave reviews from the trainees and there is a significant performance increase on the shop floor. One of the best bargains you will ever find!!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
