CNC Machining Overview
By Rachel Cook

I noticed you shared an article from En.Wikipedia.org when you talked
about CNC machines, here:

https://www.mmdigest.com/Archives/Digests/201205/2012.05.19.04.html 

I've read that piece from En.Wikipedia.org -- and I think it's good
-- but we recently published an article about CNC machining that goes
quite a bit further. In addition to covering intro topics like
"What are CNC machines?" we talk about:

* The different types of CNC machining;

* Industry definitions, like: numerical control, NC code,
postprocessor, etc);

* Advantage and disadvantages (when to choose other technologies,
like 3D printing, for example);

* How to start a career in CNC;

* To ensure that our article is authoritative, we quote more than
20 different sources.

Here's the article, if you're interested:

Would you consider linking to our article?  I think some of your
readers would really find it helpful.

Thank you for your time, and please let me know if you have any
questions!

Cheers,

 [ I found the article that  Rachel forwarded interesting.  It's on a
 [ website of a CNC machine tool manufacturer: https://www.tsinfa.com/
 [ While the scale of these machines may not lend themselves to our hobby,
 [ I'm sure some of you will be interested to visit the site.  --Jody
