    • Good For Beginners

    • Clears the confusion about CNC
Format: Paperback
Like many others, I'm very interested in CNC routing. What's kept me away is the spectre of learning all the basic language and what it means. This book clears all that initial confusing information up in straight forward language with lots of pictures. The author is actually one of five official contributors on The Router Forums, certainly one of the best woodworking sites on the internet. "Professor Henry" is one of the people who has got a good grip on CNC and is making high-end specialty products for commercial customers. His experience as a designer and printer show in the clarity of style and heavy use of very helpful pictures. There are several hard to find reference charts, and he outlines the choices on software, including the Linux based low cost versions. Visit The Router Forum and search for CNC, including posts on how to make money with your CNC. The "professor" posts as Gaffboat on the forums so you can ask questions online. A number of other experienced CNC users will probably comment as well. The CNC community on that site keeps expanding. If you're thinking of jumping into the CNC world, this book is an excellent starting point for newbies. ... show more

    • The FIRST BOOK needed in your CNC education….
Format: Paperback
WOW!!!!! Can someone please let me give this book 6+ stars!!!!!!!!!!! Simple, easy, practical information that someone with simple common senses could understand all of the scary things a BIG AND BAD CNC MACHINE is capable of doing. I’m not now an expert, but when someone takes time to explain the $10,000.00+ machine they have presented before me, I’ll feel a lot more comfortable and confident KNOWING what they are discussing and attempting to teach me. I understand Routers and machinist flutes for wood and metal and this simplified book was worth it’s weight in GOLD. How many stars…………, Ad infidium………….. ... show more

    • Not the Quintessential Book
Format: Paperback
This book is about a 30 minute read. Has a couple good tips on V bit differences, and a couple of reiterations on the order of events needed in order to operate a CNC machine. But really lacks detail, reference material (links). It does a good job of providing inspiration and detail of work thst can be accomplished using the same bit, by adding a couple of different tool paths. It will never be a book used in a classroom. ... show more

    • A very good intro for a complete beginner
Format: Paperback
A lot of people will say you could find all this on the internet. That is true, but it sure is nice to have it all organized into a single volume. IF you know much of anything about it then skip this book. It is very basic.

    • Video tutorials make more sense now
Format: Paperback
Well written, easy to understand, useful information geared primarily for woodworkers. Unlike most video tutorials, this book doesn't just tell you what to do but also how, when and why. Although the author uses Vectric’s Vcarve software to explain each topic, the information covered would apply to any CNC or CNC software. I really like the chapter on how to select the right bit for each task to yield fine details in the shortest time. Some of this information is hard to find in tutorials. ... show more
