Learning Mastercam X5 Mill 2D Step-by-Step

Excellent book!!!

After a month ,the CD key availability was expired !?!?How can practice now (!?) without Demo-CD.More,it's said-the series has been expired for 2 years !What can I do !?-to by another book ?-if the problem repeat itself !?I trust product description...

good.

It would be very unfair to rate this book one star just because the Mastercam trial disk has a short expiration date (I would encourage Mastercam users or user-to-be's to contact Mastercam (CNC Software Inc.) in order to encourage the company to give a trial of at least 3-4 months for their software.)The book on the other hand is very user-friendly. I have used it to teach the software successfully at a community college sophomore level. It has step by step procedures for getting some projects done and also contains projects at the end of the units to "do on your own." It might not have everything under the sky but for that reason is a good complement to an effective trainer. Also, even though our software has been upgraded to X6, I have adopted this book again and will let my students know of the changes myself. I also provide my own extra projects.I would recommend this book but I would also encourage the author to provide more excercises at the end of the chapters/units.

Do not order if you need the CD, it is timed out! CD in book instructed me to go to industrialpress.com for upgrade, but that download is also timed out! Buy the Learning MasterCam X8, that CD should not be timed out!

Tried calling a MasterCam reseller in my area several times about getting a current demo version of MasterCam but my phone calls were never returned! All 5 of them!!?? I will stick to using what I consider to be the most user friendly and fast CAM system out there, GibbsCam!
