If you would like to learn more about this book, or if you would like to purchase a copy, please click the link below. So…I decided to take a shot at filling the void!

I found plenty of whitepapers geared toward engineering minds, and some books and information about CAD/CAM toolpaths, but nothing that explained 5-axis CNC machining from a shop floor perspective. While researching to see if there was any latest-and-greatest 5-axis stuff that I needed to learn about, I quickly realized that there just isn’t much out there for us.the machinists. The inspiration for this book came while I was preparing for a seminar that I was asked to present at the Modern Machine Shop’s Top Shops Conference here in Indianapolis earlier this week. 5-sided, purchasing considerations, 5-axis terminology, workholding, tooling, maintenance considerations, 5-axis NC programming and post processor configuration, tool vectors, machine accuracy, and programming transform planes. Topics include: why do you need 5-axis machine and what are the benefits of it, explain the different machine configurations and the pros and cons of each, rotation directions and the “right hand rule”, 5-axis vs. I tried to cover the stuff that operators, programmers and CNC machinists want to know.

With the help of Hurco Companies, I just recently published my very first actual book! It is a comprehensive guide to 5-axis CNC machining, and I wrote it to help the machinist as a shop floor guide of sorts. Well I’m just too excited about this not to share this news with my readers.
