What are you suggestions. I have a new job I am working at 2nd shift running a large saw, but one of the guys just got let go in the cnc shop and I want to get in there. I would be running a Hoss overhead Mill just wondering what book would be better off getting first. I have run cnc plasma tables and Water jets but never a CNC Mill.

Reply:It's a different ball game running a CNC vertical, as opposed to plasma or waterjet! If it's production type work, you would probably only have to change parts, and make a few offset changes. Nothing too major. The Machinery's Handbook won't help you run the machine. It will help you with technical information such as, speed & feed, mathematic formulas, trig functions, etc. If it's production work, everything is usually all setup, and programmed and all you will do is push buttons. You might be able to find a school that has CNC training and it will give you the basics. Good Luck!!!--------John |
