34+ years in CNC programming and machining
I am Marc Cronin, founder of GCodeTutor.com and a Senior CNC Machine Tools Engineer. I have programmed, set, and run everything from 2-axis lathes to advanced 7-axis machining centers for Airbus, Boeing, GE, and military contractors.
Beyond production, I have trained apprentices and machinists for years, helping them move from copying old code to writing their own with confidence on the shop floor.
I built GCodeTutor to share practical, no-nonsense training focused on clarity, safety, and real results so you can understand G-Code and move your career forward.
