By Peter Smid
Third edition, 2007, 7 X 10 illustrated hardcover
600 pages
Includes CD-ROM
Over its first two editions, this best-selling book has become the de facto standard for training and reference material at all levels of CNC programming.
Used in hundreds of educational institutions around the world as the primary text for CNC courses, and used daily by many in-field CNC programmers and machine operators, this book literally defines CNC programming.
Many of the changes in this new Third Edition are the direct result of comments and suggestions received from many CNC professionals in the field.
This CNC operations and programming guide is packed with over 1000 illustrations, tables, formulas, tips, shortcuts, and practical examples.
CNC Programming Handbook presents material on virtually all CNC programming subjects in great detail and discusses CNC milling and turning operations.
Written with the CNC programmer working in the field in mind, this guide covers just about every subject a typical programmer may encounter on a daily basis.
Besides being an invaluable in-depth reference for machinists, programmers, engineers and supervisors, CNC Programming Handbook is well suited for use as a basic text in a wide variety of CNC training programs.

By Steve Krar and Arthur Gill
2000, 7 X 10 illustrated hardcover
Includes CD-ROM
OVERVIEW
The authors have designed this book to take the mystery out of CNC - to put it in a logical sequence and express it in simple language that everyone can understand. This reference covers everything from programming basics to bench-top teaching machines to industrial machines to milling and turning programming to an introduction to CAD/CAM.
FEATURES
Fanuc compatible programming, the accepted world standard, is used in programming examples, and codes are explained as they are used.
A CAD/CAM software program, included in the book, makes it possible to design a part on the computer, generate machining codes, and simulate the tool path to check for programming errors.
An overview of Virtual Reality NC is included, so students are aware of a new technology that is revolutionizing the design and manufacture of products.

Programming of Computer Numerically Controlled Machines, Third Edition
Ken Evans
500 pages, Illustrated, 7 x 10
Published: April 2007
OVERVIEW
Written in simple, easy-to-understand language by skilled programmers with years of experience teaching CNC machining
to the industry and in formal education settings, Programming of Computer Numerically Controlled Machines provides full
descriptions of many operation and programming functions and illustrates their practical applications through examples. It
provides in-depth information on how to program turning and milling machines, which is applicable to almost all control
systems. It keeps all theoretical explanations to a minimum throughout so that they do not distort an understanding of the
programming. And because of the wide range of information available about the selection of tools, cutting speeds, and the
technology of machining, it is sure to benefit engineers, programmers, supervisors, and machine operators who need ready
access to information that will solve CNC operation and programming problems.
FEATURES
* Contains expanded sections on CAD/CAM and Conversational Programming that offer insight into the modern methods of
CNC programming.
* Includes a modern CNC controller representation in the Operation Section.
* Thoroughly describes mathematical formula usage necessary for creating programs manually.
* Provides practical examples and study questions throughout, allowing users to demonstrate their proficiency.
* Features improved blueprints and drawings recreated to ANSI standards in order to improve clarity.
* Offers a glossary of terminology and useful technical data and charts needed for effective programming.
* Illustrates how to create each programming example through clear step-by-step presentations.
* Covers edgeCAM CAD/CAM programming. This is used in many high schools in Computer Integrated Manufacturing courses.

Secrets of 5-Axis Machining
Karlo Apro
176 pages
Published: October, 2008
Up to now, the best way to get information on 5-axis machining has been by talking to experienced peers in the industry, in hopes that they will share what they learned. Visiting industrial tradeshows and talking to machine tool and Cad/Cam vendors is another option, only these people will all give you their point of view and will undoubtedly promote their machine or solution.
This unbiased, no-nonsense, to-the-point description of 5-axis machining presents information that was gathered during the author's 30 years of hands-on experience in the manufacturing industry, bridging countries and continents, multiple languages - both human and G-Code. As the only machine shop book of its kind, Secrets of 5-Axis Machining will demystify the subject and bring it within the reach of anyone who is interested in using this technology to its full potential, and is not specific to one particular CAD/CAM system. It is sure to empower readers to confidently enter this field, and by doing so, become better equipped to compete in the global market.
* Features full-color illustrations through that help to explain the theories and principals.
* Includes a CD containing avi files, high quality illustrations, and sample parts.
