A Tinkerer's Guide to CNC Basics: Master the fundamentals of CNC machining, G-Code, 2D Laser machining and fabrication techniques

A Tinkerer's Guide to CNC Basics is a great book for anyone wanting to learn about CNC machining. It covers everything from the basics to more advanced topics like G-Code and laser machining. The author explains things clearly and gives lots of examples, making it easy to understand even if you're new to CNC. Whether you're a professional or not, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in CNC machining.

As a part of the manufacturing industry, CNC work is an integral part of my business. I must say that this book gives an exact industry specific insight on making the best use of CNC machines. The chapter I most liked is about understanding the material properties before making the cut, which most of the operators overlook. The workflow is specifically outlined for each type of material separately. All other topics such as coding, configuration settings etc. are explained with very useful tips. I recommend this book not only to all new CNC operations but also to project managers who are involved in CNC work in one way or another.
