Hello! I hope that title is ok for someone who searches for what I tried to search for later on. I am at the ground floor of machining. I know what a lathe is. I have no idea about the lingo you use what collets are or swings??? I am mechanically skilled in that I can preform advanced repair and rebuilding of drivetrains. But I always farm out my machine work. I want to start out small and branch out later on, my ultimate goal would be to learn engine machining. But I am open to learn as much as possible about this whole profession. I am looking for books, recommendations on machines, where to decipher this lingo. I’d also like to learn about CNC and what that is. So after searching this forum with various keywords I thought I’d start this thread to seek answers.
