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. G-code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-code

   G-code (also RS-274) is the most widely used computer numerical control (CNC) and 3D printing programming language. It is used mainly in computer-aided manufacturing to control automated machine tools, as well as for 3D-printer slicer applications. The G stands for geometry. G-code has many variants.

4. 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 ...

6. APT (programming language) - Wikipedia

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

   APT (Automatically Programmed Tool) [1] is a high-level computer programming language most commonly used to generate instructions for numerically controlled machine tools. Douglas T. Ross [ 2 ] is considered by many to be the father of APT: as head of the newly created Computer Applications Group of the Servomechanisms Laboratory at MIT in 1956 ...

7. Canned cycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canned_cycle

   The operation of a CNC machine tool is typically controlled by a "part program" written a language known as G-code. [3]Canned cycles are similar in concept to functions in a traditional computer language, and can be compared also to G-code macros.
