Riassunto

The 200-Question Knowledge Companion for Routers, Lasers, Plasma, Waterjet, 3D Printing, Welding, and Hybrid Workflows

The questions you ask at midnight.
The answers that save your shop at sunrise.

You already know how to run your machines.

Now you need to understand why they behave the way they do… and how to fix them when they don’t.

This is not another beginner CNC book.

This is the missing companion to Mastering CNC and Digital Fabrication, built for real-world makers, shop owners, fabricators, and engineers who are already running machines, breaking tools, pushing materials, and trying to get consistent, reliable results.

Because this is where things get expensive.

Scrap.
Chatter.
Burning.
Broken tools.
Bad finishes.

And the worst part?

Not knowing why it happened.

What Makes This Book Different

Most CNC books teach what to do.

This book teaches:

Why it works
Why it fails
And how to fix it fast

Every section is built in a practical Q&A format so you can:

• Diagnose cut quality problems before they ruin parts
• Tune feeds, speeds, stepover, and tool geometry with confidence
• Reduce scrap, chatter, burn, and broken tools
• Improve accuracy, surface finish, and production speed
• Build reliable hybrid workflows across multiple machines
• Make smarter upgrade and investment decisions

No filler. No theory padding.
Just answers that save time, material, and frustration.

Built From 200 Real-World CNC Problems and Solutions

Inside are 200 carefully selected, shop-proven questions that target the exact problems, tuning decisions, and workflow challenges that show up once you move beyond hobby-level cutting.

This book is your:

Troubleshooting bench mate
Setup checklist
“Why did it do that?” decoder
Production-grade knowledge amplifier

Inside You Will Learn

This volume delivers 200 deep-dive, shop-tested questions organized by machine type:

CNC Routers (30) – tool geometry, vibration, spoilboards, vacuum workholding, tramming, nesting, aluminum routing, dust control, jigs, retrofits

Waterjet (30) – kerf control, abrasive tuning, taper compensation, pump maintenance, micro-cutting, composites, environmental handling

3D Printing (30) – layer strength, enclosures, warping, multi-material strategy, firmware upgrades, production optimization

Plasma (30) – arc voltage, consumables, dross control, gas selection, water tables, precision upgrades

Laser (30) – focal length, engraving depth, beam alignment, acrylic edge finish, rotary systems, emerging tech

Welding (30) – joint prep, filler selection, distortion control, automated welding, inspection standards

Hybrid Workflows (20) – combining CNC, plasma, laser, waterjet, welding, and 3D printing into efficient production systems

Plus reference charts and troubleshooting indexes.

Who This Book Is For

• CNC shop owners and operators
• Makers and digital fabricators
• Production managers and engineers
• Furniture, signage, and metal shops

Book 1 vs Book 2

Book 1 gets you cutting.
Book 2 stops you from wasting time, material, and tools.

This is not theory.

This is production knowledge.

Diritto di recesso

Instructions for revocation

Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods

Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)

Instructions for revocation

Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,

on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabr�ck, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.

You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.

Consequences of the revocation

If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.

You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.

You bear the direct costs for returning the products.

You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.

Criteria for exclusion or expiry

The revocation right is not available for contracts

for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
