First, I'd like to tell you how much I appreciate the fact that you've taken time to provide us with these tutorials. When I heard that there was a career that lets me apply my mathematics, programming AND 3d modeling skills, I jumped at the opportunity to learn as much about it as possible. However, it seems that most positions in the field only require experience. Do you have any idea how I can get into a shop to get experience without having experience in the first place? Either way, thanks again. You're doing fantastic work here.
Mark, some job shops always require unskilled CNC operators. We call the "monkeys with grenades". The ordinary job for them is to push green and red buttons and to change stock material when the machining is finished, they also change cutting tools when it is needed. For US the salary should be something close to McDonalds, but it is a good way to start your CNC career.
Mark Contini just apply at as many shops as you can until you get a chance. A lot of shop boss's will like that you have the prerequisite math skills. You will probably start out as an operator. But they may give you a chance straight up as an apprentice. Show some enthusiam and willingness to learn and you should get a chance. That's what I did. Computer experience doesn't really matter as much and the modeling software depends on the shop.
If I'm reading this right, on the 5th line you have an M3 and on the 7th line an M8. Then you drop to a -Z05 then proceed to make a dry cut all around the part without coolant. Am I wrong?
I love how you simplified this. But you have a discrepancy between your X coordinates and what you plotted in the graphics display. Points 6 & 7 are off by .250. As in shouldn't point 6 & 7 be X 2.25 instead of X 2.500? Am I misreading this somehow?
Hello sir,why the radius is 0.5,the radius of the component is 0.75 and the tool path is 0.25,if we add both then it will 1,why you minus 0.75 with 0.25,please explain
+muzahir ali Remember that the distance in X is from the Origin to the center of the tool. At that point the center of the tool is .500 from the Origin in the X-plus direction. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching Muzahir. Tom

Wrong m8 is continuing until he shut off coolant at m9

Good teaching video for CNC programming, by the way may I know what software name is that used for programming purpose, appreciate if anyone can help

sir why x is x.500 at point 3 to 4

+Tom Stikkelman sir i understand thanks you. these videos are great.i hope i will a cnc programmer one day with your help
