Hmm.. 1 month to learn all there is about CNC,
For that time frame, probably the best bet is to use Google and ask questions here, there is a simulator for running G code without crashing the machine at http://www.cncsimulator.com/

im new to cnc machines and needed a lot of help with them. We are expecting for our cnc machine to arrive next month and need help in getting prepared in what to expect, and if there is any place where there are some tutorials where i can find help in using a cnc. thanks

What kind of machine is it?

You could read "CNC Machining Handbook" by James Madison
www.integratedmechanical.ca
As Ger says, give us the machine name... or even if it's a mill or a lathe, folk on here are only too willing to help and as Al says, a simulator will save you cash- instead of crashing the tool into the machine bed or chuck you can see where your G-Code will be putting the tool.
What's the machine called? What's the controller? What's the CAD/CAM software you'll be using?
Most G/M-Code commads are generic, but some are specific to one type of machine.
I love deadlines- I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
Be careful! You are going through a learning curve with stress induced because of deadlines. Take your time. There is a lot to learn. One step at a time and the single block switch is your best friend. Keep rapids down to a minimum and if there is any doubt - DON'T push the button.
I'll be glad to help in any way I can.

Wow u guy are really helpful! well i dont know the name of the machine or anything like that. i will prob be able to tell u a lot more details once the machine gets here. but im really just in the dark for most of this. so any help, helps. lol thanks again!!!

"CNC" refers to the way a machine is controlled. But it encompasses a wide range of different kinds of machines, from little mills that cut out wax patterns for jewelry, to large sign-maker's routers that cut wood, to devices for cutting shapes out of steel sheet with a plasma arc. If you told us what you had in mind to do with your machine, once it arrives, I'm sure someone here would gladly offer help (we don't see many girls around here...)

This is because you are a girl... You can learn CAD/CAM and Gcode in a month... Some peoples learn the basic in a week and then start machining and getting experience...
No problem at all...It easy.. It is more than easy then cooking an egg... So dont worry..Once the machine comes tell us about it we will help you getting started...
Meanwhile daily visit this forum and read read read about various threads of interest..

I made a comment earlier and it has been deleted.
So i would like to clear up any miss understanding.
Now we don't get many GIRLS on this forum (NOT THAT SHOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE) so i believe by what you wrote and how you relied this is someone's idea of a wind-up.
