This is a good book on CNC programming, I think there is a third edition out now. http://books.google.com/books?id=JNnQ8r5merMC A good book for learning Macro B programming, EMC can do some/much of the stuff in this book but the syntax is very different and you need to find work around for some things. http://books.google.com/books?id=YKvH-zYd3VwC This is one of the best per dollar back plotters I have seen. There is a limited freeware 2D version but if you are at all interested in Macro B programming the pay for version is well worth the cost. It is about the only back plotter that will do macro B stuff. http://www.ncplot.com/ And like John said EMC has simulators for different types of machines. And just because it plots does not mean it will run right on a machine control, every control is a little different I have even seen two of the same machines with the same "controls" were one would run a program and the other would not. I all depends on how things were setup when the control was installed on the machine. __________ Andre' B.
