Wondering How a Manual Machinist Can Learn to Use CNC Quickly?

If you’re a manual machinist, you’ve probably wondered about CNC. Maybe you’ve heard others talking about how CNC is only good for producing lots of copies of the same part, and prototyping is much faster on a manual machine. That just isn’t true! In fact, once you get the hang of it, you can make a CNC act just like a manual machine that has power feeds on every axis and a DRO. You’ve got to admit, you really could do some wicked cool prototypes on a machine like that.

Gotta love those old tracer machines!
