The purpose of this overview is to provide the
novice machine operator with a basic under-
standing of how the machine is used during
operation, so they can more easily under-stand
the controls discussed later in this manual.
Note:
Due to the generic nature of this overview, it
is not intended to be an instructional guide
for performing actual machine operations.
To learn more about specific operations and
machining techniques, seek training from people
experienced with this type of machine, and do
additional research outside of this manual by
reading "how-to" books, trade magazines, or
websites.
