Dear Paul


Operating CNC machines is divided to tow separate parts: CAD & CAM

For the first part you have to be able to work with one of designing soft wares. As you said you have experience working with AutoCAD, it wouldn't be so much hard for you to learn working with one of designing soft wares. AutoCAD, Solid works, Power shape and ... are those soft wares. But Catia is the world leading one for 3d parts and its user friendly too. I myself using it. You can also

For the second part you need to work with a CAM software like Master cam, Solid cam, Dolphin and ... But Power mill is a user friendly soft ware and good for 3Axis milling. If you have experience working with manual milling or lath machine or if you are technical man it would be simple for you to learn.

Now you are a CNC operator.

You can feel free to contact me if you want to know more or learn. [email protected]
