i need a book

[rusticr6]

if i want to self learn about programming g code on a haas lathe, what book should i get?

the CNC Programming Techniques or the CNC Programming Handbook?

does anyone have these books?

im mainly interested in how to create and use subprograms,macro variables, and to program radius on tapers without the use of computer software.

Depending on what your needs are I think a book I wrote titled 7 Easy Steps to CNC Programming. . . A Beginner's Guide might be of some help, or not. It is very basic and starts with Cartesan/Rectangular coordinates and quickly gets you writing G-Code.

It covers G&M Code, canned cycles and the general structure of sub-programming. It does not cover Fanuc Macro B style programming.

It is available through ebay, amazon.com or my website http://www.haydenpub.com

I've been programming over 20 years, and I recommend this book 'CNC Programming Handbook" by Peter Smid.

The G code format the book follows is FANUC. But what is in the book is applicable to programming any G code applicable Mills and Lathes.

The Milling machines I currently program are Fadals and Haas.

There are a few G code differences. But like I said the book follows FANUC format.

There are a number of good books on the topic. I think this one is the best. I bought this one. The book typically retails for about $70. But ENCO tools sells it for about $58. currently discounted to $52.

Everything that you need to learn how to write/edit g-code is available on the net for free, you don't need to buy any book, plenty of free info pdf's.

The Book that Al_The_Man refers too is probibly the BEST on the Market. I have the soft cover but Amazon.com has both Soft and Hard Cover books. If your really serious about learning, this is the book to get.

A cheap back plotter like NC plot will show you what will work and what won't too. www.ncplot.com.
