Getting Started with CNC: Personal Digital Fabrication with Shapeoko and Other Computer-Controlled Routers (Make) 1st Edition, Kindle Edition

In this book you will find a lot of information about what a CNC machine is, how it works. It also explains in detail about milling cutters, dust removal, and other important things you should know.If you want to spend $3000 on a CNC router and have no previous CNC experience before, read this book first. It covers all of the steps of a CNC project from design though completion. The author correctly states that climb milling is dangerous to do by hand, but then states it is safe to do with a CNC machine.After reading this book I felt more comfortable working with the CNC and software and much more likely to implement my own ideas. This book is not for a veteran CNC maker, but good for beginners like me.

Good ok for noobs but lacks some detail for thouse who have basic knowledge of the subject I would recommend to someone who has no expirecen with CNC machines but not someone with some familiarity with cnc cad and machining

I am thinking of purchasing a CNC machine, and this book gave me a great overview of the subject. I am much more confident that I can learn to use a CNC after having read this book.

Lot to learn about cnc

A good text for learning CNC basics.

Nearly gave it 1 star, nearly threw it out... I purchased a paper copy and that was a serious mistake. In the paper book much of the text in figures (amateurish to begin with) were simply unreadable even with a magnifying glass. I assume.... that if I had an electronic copy I would have been able to expand the figures and then decode the contents. No such luck, I like paper. Poor me.OTOH, the book answered many questions and gave me enough information that I can now look up the rest of the material. The book is very useful, but definitely needed a final proofing before it was printed. There are some critical errors that are corrected in the online errata. Not at the URL given in the text of the book, but at the URL listed as part of the copyright info inside the front cover.

Ford does an excellent job on this book. Originally I rated this book lower because I read it so fast. I had expected that this would be more of a text book. Now that I have read a few more books on the topic, I have found that this is the most comprehensive overview for beginners available today.Note: As a company founder myself, I wanted to hear more of the story regarding the maker community, what motivated Ford, and the detailed steps and mistakes he learned.. Perhaps that is a different book.I think it was arrogant of me to judge the book before reading others to compre it with.CNC noob apology job complete.

Good book for CNC beginners. Very easy to follow and offers other resources.

ok

Me ha ahorrado muchas horas de Youtube y más horas aún de búsqueda infructuosa. Todo lo básico que necesitas saber para empezar con CNC e incluso con recursos adicionales para profundizar. Te lo lees en dos tardes.

Excelente libro para iniciarse en el mundo del CNC. Lo mejor son las ligas a sitios relacionados y tips sobre cosas que hacer. Esta actualizado y suguiere el uso de softeare grtis y comercial.
