majority of engine components that we need is still largely imported. The use of
CNC machine tools is an attempt to meet the demands of consumers who are
increasingly high, both in terms of quality and quantity. Today's era of
industrialization has increased the need and use of CNC machine tools in line with
demand for the products of precision engine components. CNC machine tools can
manufacture and repair engine components with the quality depends on several
factors, among others: the quality of the geometry of CNC machine tools, quality
cutting tools, and expertise of the operator / programmer. The production process
of precision machine components that require power operator / programmer
proficient CNC machine anyway. One of the weaknesses in operating a CNC
machine between lainprogrammer must first determine the coordinates of the
point on the design of the engine components to be created. Whereas for
workpieces shaped grooves / contours of a programmer must specify the
coordinate point at each meeting contour. It takes a long time. Good CNC
