2. Numerical control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_control

   A CNC machine that operates on wood CNC machines typically use some kind of coolant, typically a water-miscible oil, to keep the tool and parts from getting hot. A CNC metal lathe with the door open. In machining, numerical control, also called computer numerical control (CNC), [1] is the automated control of tools by means of a computer. [2]

3. List of metalworking occupations - Wikipedia

   Manual machine tool operator; CNC programmer is the person who takes the drawings made by engineers and draftsperson and creates a CNC program to cut the part; CNC setup hand, the person who sets up the machine and its tooling before the operator takes over

4. G-code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-code

   Some CNC machines use "conversational" programming, which is a wizard-like programming mode that either hides G-code or completely bypasses the use of G-code. Some popular examples are Okuma's Advanced One Touch (AOT), Southwestern Industries' ProtoTRAK, Mazak's Mazatrol, Hurco's Ultimax and Winmax, Haas' Intuitive Programming System (IPS), and ...

5. History of numerical control - Wikipedia

   Here, one operator read the numbers off the charts to two other operators, one on each of the X- and Y- axes. For each pair of numbers the operators would move the cutting head to the indicated spot and then lower the tool to make the cut. [5] This was called the "by-the-numbers method", or more technically, "plunge-cutting positioning". [6]

6. Machinist - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machinist

   Programmers are usually machinist as well. A CNC programmer creates programs using software called CAM (computer aided manufacturing). The programmer must be proficient in math, speeds and feeds, machine tooling, work holding, and the different ways various materials react to stress and heat in the machining process.

7. Computer-aided manufacturing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-aided_manufacturing

   [13] [14] As CAM software and machines become more complicated, the skills required of a machinist or machine operator advance to approach that of a computer programmer and engineer rather than eliminating the CNC machinist from the workforce. Typical areas of concern. High-Speed Machining, including streamlining of tool paths; Multi-function ...
