Iggy,

It really seems your zeal for CNC has surpassed your level of manual craftsmanship. Why not slow
down a bit and stop trying to digitize your entire life??

What..and have him not learn what the sound of CRUNCH! SPOING!BANGRATTLE
is? Thats the sound of tooling shattering and bounching off the walls.

"Bounching?"

"Bounching" the sound made by a loose item in an enclosed CNC
mill, usually after a flat piece has come loose, or the tooling has
broken. An onomatopoeia word as well as a Portmanteau (QV Lewis
Carrol;, Humpty Dumpty) compacts "bounce" and "Ching" which is the
sound of money leaving your wallet.

I think one would still get that opportunity even if one already knew
manual machining techniques when one started in on CNC.

Ah, but with a CNC machine, you get to bonch parts of a higher
precision and tolerances (as well as expense) at a rate far exceeding
those possible with manual machining centers. Why, it is possible in
a matter of minutes to scrap out more parts than a manual machinist
could ruin with an entire morning's effort. Automation, my friend,
the wave of the future. Once we get it figured out, it will be all
down hill from there.
