- CNC (Computer Numerical Control): A method where the workpiece is fixed, and the tool rotates,

unlike a turning lathe.

- Main screen controls: Adjust axes (x, y, z), SP1 (spindle orientation), B (rotate 90 degrees), C (change
orientation ark).

- Precaution: Start by moving the z-axis to avoid collision during tool return.

- Commander knobs: Right for speed, left for spindle orientation and rpm.

- Tool selection: Based on part, material, and function; diameter ranges from 0.5mm to 20mm.

- Tool magazine: Stores tool information (length, diameter) in 16 pockets.

- Speed and feed selection: Based on material information from CADCAM.

- Cutting command: Manual GCode, CADCAM software, or controller cycles.

- JOG mode: Manual tool movement within defined limits for x, y, and z.

- Setting origin: Specify x-y-z (zero origin) for workpiece, different from mechanical origin.

- Program origins: Multiple (G54 ... G59) for machining several workpieces simultaneously.

- Setting z-direction origin: Manually touch workpiece using handwheel increments.

- Zeroing x and y axis: Approach workpiece with small increments using handwheel.

- Tool length measurement: "Measure Tool" followed by manual length input.

- Work offset: Set z=0 at workpiece surface.

- Tool change: Press "JOG" mode, then "TSM" to select tool pocket and spindle speed.

- GCode: Generated using CADCAM, requires post-processor configuration for machine understanding.

- Tool library: Installed in software for automatic tool selection.

- Simulation: Preview tool path, convert SolidWorks drawing to GCode, execute on CNC.

- Air nozzle activation: Press specific button during milling.

- Machine capabilities: 4 + 1 CNC machine with x, y, z axes, workpiece rotation, and base rotation.

- Task for next time: Create figure incorporating all 5 axes on the machine.
