About
Learn what all those buttons do, which directions the machine moves along the different axes, how to load a G-code program, and the way to communicate directly with the machine via MDI (manual data input).
There’s a lot to know about operating a CNC (computer numeric control) machine beyond loading a program and pushing the button, and this will get you started.
