teaching materials

[Jody]

Has anyone bought any books or cd's to help train others in the shop. We have a list of teaching material and was wondering which would be good to buy (if any):

Learning Seris Mill Projects and Applications by CNC Sortware, Inc.

Mastercam Training Tutorials by In-House Solutions, Inc.

 

Just-In-Time by In-House Solutions, Inc.

Mastercam Training Tutorials by CNC Software, Inc.

Mastercam Training Series by Dr.S.C.Jonathon Lin & Dr.F.C. Tony Shiue

 

Thanks

Jody

I teach at a Trade School. We used the Scholars books for Version 7 training. We currently use the In-House Solutions Training Manuals for Version 8. The In-House books tend to be more accurate. The Scholars books tend to give more detail.

The In-House books BTW are less expensive.

Either of these would be a good choice.

That's my $.02

Does anyone have thoughts they would like to share about the FASTech MultiMedia Training CDs?

I've been using MasterCam since V5, and am still trying to unlock more "secrets". Will FASTech be helpful?

[cadcam]

Sorry jenks the disc contain any of the "secrets or i call them tricks that mastercam will do..

all of the training stuff give you the basics..

i go to the user groups to get some of those little tricks from other users or from CNC them selfs..

Hi

I teach both in a Vocational Trade School where my students are from industry.

I also teach on site to industry and use Books by CNC Software and Inhouse.

Best of all I teach how to use the help menu in Mastercam. Most of your answers can come from there.

It is all content sensitive help.

I find the best way to teach Mastercam inhouse at a company is to get some prints and make your own "lesson plans."

This way you will teach what nees to be taught and not some useless knowledge.

See www.cadcamcnc.com/stories.htm what I have proven in teaching Mastercam.

Best regards,

George

Thanks for info on FAST.

I also rely on this forum and anyplace else I can find to learn "tricks". There are a lot of brains out there to be picked.
