18 sections • 26 lectures • 4h 2m total length

INTRODUCTION0:34
Hello and welcome to the course
COURSE INTRO1:08
Learn basic g-code programming for CNC mills, from Cartesian coordinates and plus/minus x and y values to sub programs and subroutines, using the G Wizard editor to simulate your code.

THE G-WIZARD EDITOR AND SIMULATOR22:23
The G-Wizard Editor is an editing software you will use throughout this course to write G-code programs which allows you to simulate and verify the accuracy of your code. The software can be downloaded and installed as a free 30-day trial using the the following link. Copy and paste the following link into the address bar:

Write G2 Clockwise Arc Tool Paths10:33
learn to program g2 clockwise arc tool paths and g1 straight moves, using centerline offsets and half-inch radii with a quarter-inch tool offset to create rounded square corners.
Exercise Writing a G2 Clockwise Arc
Writing a G3 Counter-clockwise Arc Tool Path14:58
Master writing a G3 counterclockwise arc tool path for CNC mills, offsetting the centerline by half the tool diameter and calculating intersections.
Exercise Writing a G3 Counter-clockwise Arc
How to use I's and J's to Write G2 and G3 Tool paths5:26
Learn to use I and J with G2 and G3 arcs to define the radius center, with I as x offset and J as y offset.

Basic knowledge of operating a CNC mill and basic operation of a PC is helpful but not required. Anyone interested in CNC programming will learn the basic skill-sets needed to write G-code programs.

This course teaches you how to hand write basic G-code programs for 3-axis CNC mills.

In this course you will learn how to write G-code for milling operations including;

At the end of each section you will find an attached PDF file with an exercise to practice your new skills

Anyone who wants to learn G-code programming that can be used on 3-axis mills such as Haas, Doosan, Mori, Mazak and more.
