'Baffled and Overwhelmed'

Baffled and Overwhelmed

machiningmama from Longview,WA -

I am a student, in process of trying to learn CNC program language for Mill/Lathe. The text is very dry, no interaction. Wondered if anyone knows of any interactive sites? I am guessing that is what others are looking for asking @ virtual CNC machines. I am not that far; I am looking for a way to grasp programming if anyone ahs suggestions.
