Centroid CNC

[team222badbrad]

I am wondering if anyone here has experience using Centriod CNC products?

The cnc knee mill we have in the shop uses this control system.

Since our team does not have a cnc machinist, I am going to attempt to learn how to use Centriod's Intercon programming software.

I am a amateur machinist by trade, but most of my CNC experience is with turning centers. I learned how to navigate through the many different control systems at my previous job, so that is not a problem, but I have little programming knowledge.

I have made a few basic parts with Intercon, but thats as far as I have gotten with programming.

I would like to stay away from MasterCam because I want to learn how to program the right way and because it is hard to get files to the cnc.

Basically what I am asking if anyone in the CNC field knows of any good books or online articles that go into detail with G-codes and contain CNC mill "need to know" information.

We do have a manual for the control system, but I do not have it at the moment.

Learn CNC or Bust!
