CNC Programming: Reference Book

The "CNC Reference Book" is a comprehensive guide for machinists who want to expand their knowledge in CNC programming. It provides in-depth explanations and practical examples for various topics, making it a valuable resource for both beginners and experienced professionals in the field. However, the Kindle version of the book seems to have several issues with formatting and scanning errors. Many tables are rendered useless and there are instances where the author refers to diameter instead of swing radius, causing confusion for readers. It is clear that the editors did not do a thorough job in ensuring the quality of the Kindle edition. One reviewer also mentions that the "CNC Reference Book" is largely a reproduction of "CNC Programming Basics & Tutorial" by Michael J Peterson, with only a fuller explanation of "Interpolation" being the major difference. The reviewer suggests that readers save their money by opting for the "CNC Reference Book" instead, unless they prefer better readability due to the slightly larger font size in "CNC Programming Basics & Tutorial". Overall, the "CNC Reference Book" provides valuable information for machinists, but the Kindle version falls short due to its formatting and scanning errors. It is recommended to opt for the hard copy as a pocket reference instead, as it is likely to be a better choice.
