I'm still trying to learn a CNC lathe at work. I've got the manual for it to learn how to program it and I also have a basic book to learn about lathes, "Metal Lathe for Home Machinists by Harold Hall". I'm only about 20 pages in and so far it hasn't taught me much. I know things are done mostly by CAD/CAM now, but I'm not looking for that, for now. Most of the parts I will ever make are on the simple side. The things that I don't know at this time is chamfers (I roughly know how to do a 45deg but that's it) and threading anything whether it be tapping or single point, and how to properly make a part to size as in how many passes at what feeds and speeds with what tool. (I'm hoping my book will teach me at least this last part)
Essentially looking for a book on Amazon or something, that will teach me how to take advantage of a CNC Lathe, as a beginner. (I'm looking at a Dummies Machining book)
Thanks,
