CNC Milling for Makers: Basics - Techniques - Applications

A good book, but it needs more general information rather than specific CAM software and brand of machine explained. Altogether, a good introduction.

There are small bits of generally-useful information, and a ton of material relating to a specific machine. I’d rather have gotten the general information from a general book so I didn’t pay for the 85% of the book that’s irrelevant to me. It’s my own fault; I didn’t examine it closely enough before purchase because of the general-sounding title. Oh well.

This book is fundamental for CNC milling introduction and intermediate workshop. We are using step craft in our school fablab and this book is must have for CNC milling station

Most of the book is dedicated to running a Stepcraft based CNC. 70+ pages just on assembling a Stepcraft . There is some good info in there but it really should have been titled differently to reflect it's Stepcraft focus.

As mentioned by others, this book covers mostly the stepcraft CNC.If the title would have been different, this book could reach the audience it has been written for, step craft users, and maybe avoid some disappointed readers who expect something else.If you are a stepcraft owner, you wouldn't be disappointed by this book, I would rate it 4 stars.It has some detailed colour pictures and illustrations, and is a great introduction into CNC.It explains the the various tools/cutters that are available, and has a detailed explanation about feeds and speeds.

Le contenu de ce livre convient bien à un débutant, ce que je recherchais.A noter qu'il est orienté Stepcraft, une excellente machine par ailleurs. Ce livre peut d'ailleurs être considéré comme le manuel de la machine de ce constructeur.
