Course Description

Increase your hourly rate as a CNC Machinist by learning to program CNC machines.
CNC Router owners often struggle learning to program their machine, This introduction course will teach you what you need to know.
GCode is the basic fundamental language of CNC Machines. It is a skill every machinist needs to have a full understanding of their machine. Whether a hobbyist or an Aerospace machinist. It is often an area where machinistapprentices and DIY router enthusiasts get stuck on.
With my course, I will take you through the basics of understanding the G Codelanguage to programming your first part in aneasy to understand, step by step process.
Each G-CODE command is discussed in an easy to follow manner with example programs written around each lesson to make learning to program GCODE easy.
The course also coversMCODESCyclesUnderstanding the cartesiancoordinate systemToolingCutter compensationClimb milling vs conventional millingAnd many moreWith 5 full CNC programs explaining each section in a real-world environment.
Say goodbye to expensive CAD software and program your CNC machine like the experts.
After completing this course you will be ableto program any shape using GCODE, as well as knowing tips and tricks used by professional CNC machinists to get the results they need.
Who this course is for:
CNC Router OwnersHobby CNC MachinistsCNC Machine Operators that wish to learn to read and write G CodeMachinist apprentices

Instructor Details

Marc Cronin

I entered into the world of CNC Machining in 1991 as an apprentice for British Aerospace. After a four year apprenticeship I spent the following 26 years programming, operating and setting a full range of CNC Machines, including Lathes and milling machines.

I specialisein programming FANUCandHeidenhain machine tool operating systems up to 12 Axis.

My main roles involved hand coding at the machine instead of using CAD/CAM software.

His accent is very difficult to understand and captions don't match at all with what he is saying

By Brian armstrong on 10/23/2020

Clear instructions and easy to follow

Very Basic but good examples with explanation

By Conner Herman on 10/2/2020

This course was a great introduction into the first several necessary G and M codes needed for CNC programming. Would recommend wo anybody who needs to start from square one!

By Jessica Houle on 10/2/2020

This was a great introduction and I never felt overwhelmed, despite never coding on a CNC. It gave me confidence to keep moving forward. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is that I felt the visual side and some of the audio wasn't clean or as clear as I wanted. Some improvement could be made in this area. I do think Marc comes off as enthusiastic, which is a huge plus, and knowledgeable.

it is a good choice

I had a wonderfull experience this course helped me a lot to gain knowledge very easily and efficiently

By Bradley Frost on 9/13/2020

I am starting out doing hobby CNCing. I have some decent familiarity with CAD, but the gap between CAD and the CNC machine moving (CAM and controlling) I am weak on. This course seems to be pretty good at covering these topics at an intro easy to understand level.
