Dedication
In Memory of my Father, who taught me many things in life,
especially to love Jesus, to work hard, and to have fun.
To my loving wife, Marci, for her support, patience, and proofreading skills,
and who kept me on track, and offered countless valuable critiques of
my machinist English. To Dolores for being the best mother-in-law
I could ever have imagined.
Thanks to the many students I have taught over the years and the readers
of this text. I hope this text will help you have many years of success and an
exciting and prosperous CNC programming career.
