Reddit reviews Precision Machining Technology

I'm using Precision Machining Technology at school right now. Covers pretty much everything, from basic hand tools right up to programing G-code. You can get a second hand copy pretty cheap.

take a look at this. it realy dumbs down a lot of stuff for beginners, but also includes some stuff pertaining to entry level cnc programming. I think it goes over like coolant compositions, types of mills and lathes, types of cutting tools, processes and such. Has lots of illustrations and, as my cnc instructor says, pitchers for the visual learner.

edit forgot to put the name of the book/ a link
