Trades & Technology

Featuring an easy-to-read, easy-to-learn from format, this book provides a basic introduction to concepts and procedures associated with the technologies of numerical control (NC) and computer numerical control (CNC) as they are used in today's manufacturing industries.

• uses a straight-forward four-step instructional process to provide readers with necessary theoretical background and the practical, hands-on experience they need to understand, conduct, design, and develop programs and implementations on the job.

• concepts are clearly explained, accompanied by many illustrations; step-by-step procedures are described; applications examples are provided to reinforce concepts; and, a summary example after each chapter ties concepts together.
