Title Overview

CNC Programmer's Guide is a comprehensive and contemporary resource for students pursuing a career in the CNC machining trade. This textbook uses a building-block approach to develop a broad understanding of CNC programming techniques and machining operations. Designed for the beginning learner, this textbook provides flexibility for a variety of courses in CNC machining, with complete, introductory coverage on CNC mill programming, lathe programming, and subprogramming. Practical, easy-to-understand examples teach students the essential skills needed to prepare programs for CNC mills and lathes. Designed to teach different programming techniques and different programming languages/formats, the author highlights programming methods for both Haas and Fanuc controllers and notes where differences exist. Advanced-level chapters in the third section of the book provide in-depth coverage on probing and macros, with three separate chapters on probing and probing routines. With this new edition, the text features cumulative hands-on projects in the mill and lathe sections, and the Lab Workbook provides additional practical applications.

As a third-generation machinist, trained mold maker, tool and die maker, and CNC multiaxis programmer, Mr. Calverley has seen this industry go through radical changes. He started his career in 1982, running manual machinery in his father's shop. During his 30+ years of making parts, he has produced parts used to make turbochargers, transmissions, plastic injection molds, aircraft parts, and even parts for the International Space Station. Before joining Lincoln, Mr. Calverley worked as a CNC programmer for several manufacturing firms, including Solidiform, Inc., a defense contractor in the aerospace industry.

Mr. Calverley is also the author of CNC Manufacturing Technology. He holds an AS degree in marine technology from the College of Oceaneering, and has completed additional college-level industry and academic programs. He holds all 12 NIMS Machining Level 1 certifications, as well as three Mastercam Associate Level certifications.
