Great video. Thank you for posting this video. Can you make a video that shows what G Codes look like and Also BluePrints And also maybe how you input that data into your cnc machine. I'm interested, very interested in understanding more aspects of what you do. Thank you very much.
CNC isn´t hard to learn for simple geometry..but if you want to learn how is it done in real life you must use MASTERCAM or CATIA software for example..
Im going to start a CNC training its 9 months long and their going to teach me shop math, G codes for mills and lathes machines, part programming for mills and lathe machines their also going to teach me Cam software and CAD too and their going to train me on a lathe and a mill machine its hands on training. do you work in CNC? do you live in the U.S.?
i'm a mechanical engineering student and had a class were i learn the basics in g cods and cam software. i did a couple of works but nothing special...and no, i don't live in the US
I'm a CNC Machinist so I highly recommend to go to school to learn,then get a job at a nice/up-to-date machine shop that uses the software my fellow machinist described below my comment...Nice music...at the end I barely can read the monitor... G98 G81 etc for the drill.
PS: Machine shops pay good only to people who makes the set-ups (Machinists) and the ones that do the CNC programming or both. CNC operators Don't get pay as good(Production personnel)They get pay an avarage of $6-$9 an hour.
the training that im going to get his 5 months and its 2 days of class and 2 days handson training with a machine. there going to teach me G codes programming and shop math and blue print reading. Is that good enough to start.
If CNC it's your main goal then get the full associate's degree (2 1/2 years) at a local college. But if the classes that your are taking offer enough in 5 months then keep taking them. But it takes years to actually become an experienced CNC machinist,depending on your learning skills.
You say take a full associate degree... is it a manufacturing degree? I think I like to get into CNC parts design and programming after I learn the basics. When they say setup the machine, can you tell me exactly what you need to know to set up a CNC machine?
It is a full associate's to become a machinist...Your plan it's a good start thou...To set up a machine actually is kind of hard to explain here...The basic steps are: Reading blue print,plan the process to machine,place tools in the machine(Set ref points of each),and make the program.I live in San Antonio Texas.
Hey any chance you could video yourself at work and downloded to youtube? I`d understand if not. How long have you been in CNC? I start CNC school march 17th its 2 days classroom and 2 days on a CNC machine in a real shop.
I'll try to video-record myself but I have to check first with my company's policy...I've been working with CNC since 1992.I'm a CNC machinist but for "Fanuc" Systems only...I'm going to try a new field(new to me though) which is: "Mazatrol" System,this new system is more advance and better than "fanuc"(Personal opinion).I highly recommed to u to take classes for "Mazatrol" Systems aswell!
In the U.S in Chicago where I live they start CNC operators at $15 if you know how to set up the machine and you know G codes, how to read blueprints and programming too. So Mazatrol is the way to go now? I think the school where Im going to is training me on Fanuc controls on lathes and mills. Do you just work on one machine at work or do you control more than one at work? Do you know how to read blueprints? my school is going to teach me how to read blueprints too.
Do you live in the U.S.? I live in Chicago, That`s some good money they pay starting. But i`m confused some CNC operators are machinists too....I do not understand the difference between a CNC operator and a machinist?
A CNC machine is controled by the computer from the machine that you programed,there for,the computer is the brain of the machine.A machinist could be anyone from a bench press operator and so on.

Is CNC hard to learn? How hard is the math? which CNC position pays the most?

Where i work they pay CNC operators $23.00 an hour. We build water pumps, I'm starting to study CNC now.

Hey performz28 how`s it going? I cant wait to start my CNC school march 17th......do you know how to use cam and cad software too?
do you know how to read blueprints?
does your job lay you off from time to time? i`ve heard that in CNC that happens alot.......
