CNC Lathe Software?
I am turning my lathe into a CNC machine, and I need software for my computer. I was wondering what you use for CNC lathe, and I’d like to get software free.
Your best bet for CNC lathe is CNCezPRO; this program is the software you need; however, I do not think it is for free!
In cnc milling, what does it mean when motors are in parallel?
I need more torque from the motors in my cnc machine and can only go up to 3 amps. What does it mean when the motors are in series or parallel or unipolar?
CNC motors are stepping motors
if wired in parallel they will step equally
they cannot be wired in series!
unipolar and bipolar is something else
it relates to the driver and the winding of he motors
to get more torque you need a bigger motor and bigger driver
Or to gear down!

CNC(computer numerical control)?
Does anybody have any info about CNC? like how much a CNC job would pay? what type of schooling? I already know it is used mainly in manufacturing in machines like Mills, punch presses, lasers, and water jets. I am new to it and would like some info from somebody with experience.
It all depends on what kind of CNC work you intend on doing. Simply operating a CNC machine doesn’t really require any experience. I operated one for a few years straight after finishing school.
If you want to get into programming CNC and once off projects then a technical qualification such as an engineering diploma or an apprenticeship as a toolmaker would be necessary.
As far as pay goes starting salary isn’t great, pretty much minimum wage if you have no other qualification.

What is the name of the degree / what classes to take to become a CNC progamer?
A friend of mine worked an a CNC machine for many years. He now want’s to learn how to do the programing.
I guess Autocad is the program he will use.
Is this a specialized degree or training?
Thanks
Well, you need to understand G-code, the programming language of CNC machines.
The best place to start would probably be a diploma in manufacturing, probably in the aerospace field.
If he wants to study more, he could do some mechanical engineering and learn this (and much more)!
Good luck!
