CNC Cookbook tutorials?

[GummyMonster]

Has anyone read the free courses CNC Cookbook offers?
I've read on various sites that they are well done?
Just wanted some educated opinions.
If not these, what others are decent for a beginner?

NYC CNC has some excellent CNC content. Titans of CNC also do if you can get past the wall of machismo and bro'titude.

I believe @Janger did some of the Titans CNC exercises.

Titan Academy CNC tutorial - any members doing this please post!

Hi Everyone, I'm interested in going through the Titan CNC Academy tutorial on milling: https://academy.titansofcnc.com/category/mill-building-blocks If you have access to a CNC mill this might be an interesting series to learn a bunch on. It would be nice to have a group to work on it...

Since starting to modify G-Code (after the built in software has done the hard part) for tool path optimization, I now use CNC wizard (bought the life time version) to see (tool path) and modify (code) it simultaneously. Yes there is a free online alternative (for you cheap, I mean thrifty individuals), but modification is a little more difficult (couple of more steps). For the extra cost its better use of my time (and cheaper than MasterCam, though this is the ultimate goal).

What I have learned is G (and M) code is control specific for best operation. While generic functionality is similar execution is not and for this it is good that whatever simulator you use it uses your machines code version.

Yes Solidworks and Fusion360 can do this but your code still needs optimization hence these alternatives (MasterCam, automated coding, optimisation and visualization, CNC Wizard more towards visualization and tweaking for less complex objects).
