  • This is the 7th and final day of the Learn CNC Basics E-Course. Today is a fun day where we look at a few different CNC projects and what we can do with CNC Technology. There are CNC Parts we look at and CNC Art pieces we look at. There are CNC Plasma, CNC Router, CNC Mill and CNC Lathe projects that are discussed. Next, we talk about CNC Information. CNC Information is a community site that connects people who have a passion for CNC. There are CNC Blogs, CNC Profiles, CNC Articles and CNC Forums. You can join up for free and also get a Free G-Code Quick Guide if you do. Come on over and join up today!

  • On Day 6 we learn about CNC Machining. This is where the rubber hits the road. Before this, we did virtually everything on the computer. Now we move into the real world. Machining is about removing material from a piece of stock until we finalize our parts. One thing we learn is that manual machining and cnc machining have similar issues. There is coolant, chips dust and dirt no matter if you are operating the machine or the computer is operating the machine. CNC Machining safety is important during this step. We need to wear safety glasses, protective equipment and appropriate shoes. There are many different types of CNC Machines and types of machining. There are cnc routers, cnc lathes, cnc mills, cnc plasma cutters and on an on. Each of these types of machines operates in different ways and you must learn their differences to be effective. Tomorrow we go over various CNC Produced Parts and Projects. We look at the outcome of all out work and some of the possibilities.

  • Day 5 is all about CNC Control. CNC Control is made up of three parts. The CNC Control Computer, CNC Control Software and the actually CNC Controller. The CNC Control Computer can be basic and inexpensive. The computer will live in a harsh environment that includes dust and dirt. The CNC Control Software is what processes the G-Code program we made in the last step. You load it in and when you are ready, start the program. The actual CNC Controller has drivers in it and translates the signals from the control program into motion. It sends the signals on to stepper or servo motors that move the various axis All together these pieces can cost a lot or a little. You can also cut down the cost if you build the cnc controller yourself. Tomorrow we machine. This is where the chips fly.
