Most people learn faster and retain more
by studying illustrations and examples than they do from
reading alone. If you’re this kind of person, these
Quick-Study CNC guides are for you!
Illustration, example, and practice
Each page of our Quick-Study guides is
packed with drawings, pictures, and brief explanations.
You’ll study a topic or two and then be immediately
shown an example to solidify your understanding. Then
you’ll be asked to do an exercise on your own, checking
your answers using NCPlot to confirm your understanding.
The answer file we include for each exercise also
provides comments that explain the topic in further
NCPlot is a tool path plotter that provides
two important benefits for learning. First, it gives us a way to
illustrate key points – points that cannot be fully
explained in any book. Second, it gives you a way to
visually check your work – making sure you’re staying on
track. With NCPlot, you’ll be able to see the motions
caused by cutting tools – much like you would with an
actual CNC machine. In all, there are thirty NCPlot
exercises in each Quick-Study guide. Answers to all the
exercises you do – with
further explanations –
are included in these files.
Each Quick-Study guide includes a 30-day
license for NCPlot. If you work at a steady pace, you’ll
be able to easily complete your studies during this
time. Average estimated time to complete each of these
Quick-Study guides is about fifteen hours – including
the time you’ll take to do and check the exercises.
