Hi Todd,
You don't need any books! You already have what you need right on the computer!
I'm like you; I make many of the same thing over and over on a lathe.
I just read all of Arts tutorials and watched all of his videos, and they are great!
I watched these videos over until It slowly sunk in what just went on with CNC lathing.
A few things to remember: Don't use a laptop. some work, most won't run smooth.
Just use a dell windows2k or xp. with the printer port, this will solve alot of early questions and problem solving.
It took me awhile to get the grasp of it, but I eventually got the hang of it, and so will you!
Good Luck
Glenn
