I studied this book during last year in faculty of engineering, and I got B+, which was very high relative to others students who averaged C-.

This book is amazing, it explains everything, CNC programming, machining, tools, coordinates, number of axes, everything you need to learn about CNC technology is in this book.

What makes it really amazing, that it's very rare to find a book on CNC machines, so this book is both rare and great.
