    Metalwork milling tutorial/beginners guide?

    I've done a cursory search relating to "milling for newbies" but haven't found anything as of yet. Is there something I can look to here or another forum where I can begin to learn how to mill?

    I realize this is a "CNC" zone but man! There's so much here! I believe that it would be in best interest to learn manual milling before even attempting to do a CNC setup.

    Any direction would be greatly appreciated!

    If a Google search doesn't come up with something brilliant online in short order, they're my go-to. In the case of basic skills like milling, welding, turning, etc you can often do a lot better at SmartFlix than online. And, of course, if you get stuck then you'll be able to ask specific questions that'll get quick answers in the forums.

    Check out the video series from MIT's shop:

    They're very good for beginners.
