The machine is as Dumb as a box of rocks. YOU will have to explain everything to it through G CODE instructions. IF manually programmed YOU have to account for the fact that you must whittle away all the extra metal to make the part. In most CAMS you define the block size and IT creates the moves to do the whittling down to a finished part.
