About this book

`Very practical and basic information - well illustrated.' - College Lecturer One of five workbooks which, together with the core text COMPUTER-AIDED ENGINEERING, make up our publishing package for City and Guilds Computer-aided Engineering 230 scheme and equivalent BTEC courses. The workbooks can be used independently of each other and of the core text. Computer numerical control (CNC) systems and machine tools are essential elements in many industrial processes. The CNC SETTING AND OPERATION WORKBOOK contains 14 learning assignments, each with a number of carefully structured tasks, and gives a wide variety of experience of the practical applications of CNC setting and operation. All aspects are covered from CNC machine setting to program proving and operating. The WORKBOOK closely follows course requirements. Completion of the assignments will help trainees acquire the practical skills and knowledge needed for competence in this CAE discipline.
