I don't know of anything aimed specifically at the 10m, There is a couple of books on CNC programming that should cover it, both do examples typically in Fanuc.
COMPUTER NUMERICAL CONTROL PROGRAMMING by Michael Sava & Joseph Puszai published by Prentice Hall.
and COMPUTER NUMERICAL CONTROL by Warren Seames. Published by SME
Otherwise you can usually get the Operator Manual off ebay.

CNC PROGRAMMING HANDBOOK By Peter Smid is also very good.

Hi,
I have roku roku cnc mill with 10M Fanuc. Does this controller have capability for 4 axis? I mean just bought 4th axis cnc rotary table and plug in the controller, then machine is ready for 4 axis operation? Let me know about this. Thanks. Aristo.

Unless you 10M came with the option already in place then it will be very difficult to implement at this date. If you want to integrate a third party 4 axis rotary table, you would need someone to modify the ladder unless you have an M code set up in a simple fashion to initiate the axis and wait for the finish.
You would not however be able to interpolate another axis with the 4th axis.
Some users have a third party rot. table and use a M00 stop code and allow the operator to start the 4 axis operation.
