Re: Beginner Guide ?

Bill,

So much depends on what you are trying to learn. The best beginner
guide to commercial cnc machines and gcode, IMO, is by Mike Lynch and
is called computer numerical control.

It won't teach you how to BUILD a cnc machine, but if you knew
nothing of cnc, and were put in room with several brands and types
(lathes, VMC's,HMC,etc) along with this book, I believe you could
safely teach yourself to make parts... on more than one of the
machine brands and types.

And it has fewer instances of "That's just plain wrong" than most of
the other books and manuals I've seen...
Enco used to sell it, and he is online at www.cncci.com (I think)
