[CAD/CAM/CNC] Lesson 17: Siemens Sinumerik Milling Programming Example

-------------------

A very simple cnc milling program example which will show cnc machinists the use of Siemens Sinumerik milling programming concepts.
This program is written for 4-axis cnc mill, where C is used for rotary table.
But a simple cnc mill can also run this program just remove program block N15
