Have to learn Mach 3 CNC program in less than a week?

I got a job working on a CNC machine cutting out plastic. I had no experience with it, but was told that I would be taught on the job. The only two people there that know how to use it are too busy to teach me, and my boss told me I'm not learning how use the software fast enough. If I don't get significantly better by friday, I lose the job.

I don't need to know to make patterns or anything like that, i just need to be able to readjust it if someone isn't aligned right or goes off-base. It doesn't sound very hard, except that I'm not recieving any help with it.

For the sake of my job, PLEASE HELP!

    I wish you knew something about CNC machining, because this would be much easier. And I'm sure someone will tell you that you need to get those people at work to help you out... but I'm going to assume you know that.

    I would recommend going to the Mach website - they have some good help. But... here is my little CNC secret... it's a website and forums for people who do CNC machining for hobby and work.

    www.cnczone.com

    Sign up for a membership - read the forums - especially the ones on the Mach products. There are many many many people there that can help you. Also, there may even be people that are local to you.

    Good luck!
