All of these DVDs are produced under my personal supervision and each presents skills vital to CNC manufacturing. All examples are based on actual hands-on experiences with CNC lathes and mills. As a group, they cover a large majority of the skills necessary for a superior CNC productivity.

-Heinz R. Putz

1)CNC Partmaking: The purpose of this video is to familiarize new operators and programmers with the facts and skills necessary for a career in CNC productivity.

2)Prep for CNC: This video lays the foundation in the practical skills necessary for CNC utilization. Covered are coordinate systems for lathes and mills, how to program rapids with G0, straight and angular feeds with G1, radius motions with G2 or G3, proper speed and feed calculations, time estimating, tool shapes and tool offsets and many of the other skills necessary for productivity. Control input and editing examples are also included.
This is the right video to lay the foundation of knowledge needed for programming lathes and mills.

3)Simplified CNC Math 1: Its called "Simplified" because it is meant for a person without math background. This is a skill essential to everyone involved in manual CNC programming. Calculations for angles, radius-tangent points and partial radius cuts are explained in a programming context, based on the use of a trig-function calculator. Speed, feed calculations and control use are introduced. This course has been taught to industry since 1974 and requires minimal math background.

4)Simplified CNC Math 2: A continuation of Math 1 with actual parts calculated, programs written and parts shown in cutting sequences. The content assumes knowledge of the skills taught in Math 1.

5)Supplemental Math: The calculations necessary for nose-radius compensation. Needed for any control without the feature of automatic nose-radius compensation, such as the Fanuc 5T, the Yasnac 2000 Series and many other, older controls. (Note: This is one of our original videos, it is not updated).

6)Programming the Modern CNC Lathe 1: This video teaches the method of programming a modern CNC lathe control. It is based on the Fanuc method(6T-10T-11T-0T) of programming and covers examples for various typical lathe operations, such as turning, drilling and threading. Cutting examples, tool offset changes, along with typical part shapes are shown.
All examples are developed, explained and written as part of the video.

7)Programming the Modern CNC Lathe 2: This video concentrates on the proper hands-on use of a typical, late model CNC lathe. Shown and explained are program input, editing, part improvement by changing speeds and feeds, tool offset use, coordinate setting and various cutting sequences.

8)Programming the Fanuc 5T Control: This video teaches the exact method of programming the older (pre-1980) controls. Data input, tool selection and speed selection unique to these older controls are explained, along with complete program examples. (Note: This is one of our original videos, it is not updated).

9)Programming the Modern CNC Mill 1: This video teaches the method of programming the modern CNC mill control, with examples for all typical mill operations, such as drilling and tapping with the use of Canned Cycles, contour milling and other typical mill operations. It is also based on the Fanuc method prevalent in industry and directly applicable to a large majority of today's mill controls.

10)Programming the Modern CNC Mill 2: This video concentrates on the actual control use and part making. Control input, editing, setting of tool lengths and coordinate systems will be shown and explained. Part improvement methods are emphasized by examples of editing for part improvement.

11)Using Cutter Comp on Lathes and Mills: This video concentrates on the proper use of this very valuable feature on lathes and mills. Limitations and proper use are described, fully explained and shown in actual cutting sequences.

12)Canned Cycles and Shortcuts: Time savings, both in programming time and cutting time, are realized by the use of this valuable feature. The Fanuc lathe cycles for turning, boring, threading and grooving are explained and shown in detail, with actual cutting sequences for various cycles.
Sub programs for mills and many other timesaving shortcuts for lathes and mills are described and shown.

Look for examples of various programs on our mill and lathe pages.

Learn more and earn more!
Are you an operator trying to learn more and get a better paying job as a programmer?
Look at the video outlines and be honest about where you are lacking in CNC skills, buy the proper video, learn, and put your skill to work tomorrow.

Do you need to get a new or used CNC Machine into productive operation?

Did you buy a used CNC lathe or mill and need to learn to program your investment, make parts efficiently and pay for your investment?
The videos cover the detailed method of programming Fanuc-Yasnac from 1980 to today. Watch, listen and learn and you should be making profitable parts soon.

Should you be more productive and efficient?

Are you an owner or manager of a CNC shop and you feel that your machines could be a lot more efficient?
Most likely, you could be 15% to 20% more efficient.
Efficient CNC shops are far and few between, follow the experiences used for these videos and become a lot more efficient.

Are you a programmer and want to learn a lot more?

When I say programmer, I don't mean computer operator. I am talking about a person that knows tools, can figure speeds and feeds, anticipate and eliminate machining and tooling problems before they happen, can do trig and program G-Codes, use Canned Cycles and cut efficiently.

Reference list of CNC Video users:

Community Colleges, Colleges, all types of schools:

There are about a 100 or so schools that use our videos as a base for CNC teaching in their curriculum. They are located almost everywhere around the country, including in quite a number of schools in Canada.
Here are some of the interesting and active users:

Wayne Comm. College in Goldsboro, NC.
Ask for Paul Compton, he is the teacher and quite interested and knowledgeable.
919-735-5152, Ext. 712
