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]

4. Machinist - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machinist

   CNC (computer numerical control) is the modern manufacturing method in which machinist use a form of programming called G-code to make components for a wide variety of industries. CNC programming is a highly skilled position. Programmers are usually machinist as well.

5. APT (programming language) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APT_(programming_language)

   APT is used to program numerically-controlled machine tools to create complex parts using a cutting tool moving in space. It is used to calculate a path that a tool must follow to generate a desired form. APT is a special-purpose language and the predecessor to modern computer aided manufacturing (CAM) systems. It was created and refined during ...

6. Canned cycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canned_cycle

   Canned cycles are so called because they allow a concise way to program a machine to produce a feature of a part. [2] A canned cycle is also known as a fixed cycle . A canned cycle is usually permanently stored as a pre-program in the machine's controller and cannot be altered by the user.

7. CNC router - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNC_router

   As with CNC milling machines, CNC routers can be controlled directly by manual programming, but CAD/CAM allows wider possibilities for contouring, speeding up the programming process and in some cases creating programs whose manual programming would be impractical. On some controllers the G-code can be loaded as a vector file on the router ...
