Which are the most reputable and important reference books for a CNC Machinist?
Hi guys!
I want to further my knowledge on CNC Machining and being a "recent CNC Machining graduate" I want to have a couple of books to take with me to the every shop/factory, in the career I'm just starting... Or to have home for some additional studying.
Which are the most reputable and important reference books for a CNC Machinist? Which are "The CNC Bibles"? Milling/Turning/Programming/Tooling, As I'm not an English native speaker and I would also want this to be used as a reference/dictionary/encyclopedia for all the terms and naming involves in the industry...Tools, accessories, parts and everything involved in the CNC Machining "job".
Let me know!
Thanks, in advance.
Cheers,

Hey Al! Thanks for your reply. Is the other Peter Smid book, "CNC Setup for Milling and Turning: Mastering CNC Control Systems", worth getting too? Anything on "cutting tools"? A "CNC Cutting Tools Bible"? Holders, bits, drills,routers, grooving, milling, turning, threading, inserts and accessories... I have to "learn" the "CNC English Language" and would like to have a reference to be able to translate from my Mother Tongue and be ready to face the recruiters in a "technical job interview".Originally Posted by Al_The_Man
Please forward me to any resource you think will help me.
Thanks, once more.
Cheers!

It should also be OK, The CNC Programming Handbook is the best known.
Most of the books I have are on CNC systems as I was a CNC retrofitter not a machinist, hopefully the machinist's here will chip in.
One place I go to for books is Abe Clearing House for cheap versions.
