Hello. I have spent the last 10 years working on Bridgeport’s and manual lathes as a tool and die machinist for a plastic extrusion company. 8 months ago I took my first CNC Milling job as a set up person. A few months into the gig our programmer got canned and now they are just expecting me (only 8 months working with CNC) to just be able to run the entire department. I understand machining and with my prior experience CNC is coming really natural to me. So far, I’ve been able to teach myself everything that’s been needed. I just started getting into GibbsCAM and have been picking up on some basic G code no problem.
I’m looking for any recommendations or resources that are good references for new programmers. Anything that could help with learning G Code, Speeds and Feeds, GibbsCAM, Machine Maintenance, or anything alike, I’m all ears. Thank you!
