Summary: many errors, poor software
Comment: The software is Java based, tends to freeze up, and is not accurate. I found many errors in the book in CNC format and programming terminology. Download a free simulator from the web and purchase a better book if you want to learn CNC trade properly.

Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent Value
Comment: After working almost 20 years as a (mostly CNC) machinist, I now teach manual and CNC machining to high school 11th and 12th graders. 'The CNC Workbook' is a highly valuable resource for introducing CNC knowledge and programming to my students.

'The CNC Workshop' is priced similar to other CNC training books that don't include any software. However, this book also includes a training CD that works fairly well. One of the features of the CD is simulation software for both lathe and mill. The only CNC simulation software I have found so far that is any better than this one costs [$$] for the lathe simulator and another [$$] for the mill simulator. To get both of those lathe and mill simulators adds up to more than 20 times the price of 'The CNC Workshop.'

While the book is not perfect, and while the software can be a bit temperamental, this has to be the best CNC training-guide value on the market. The book and software don't replace me as a teacher, but they do make my teaching efforts way more effective. My classroom is a better place because of this book.
