Best Answer:
It has to do with "Computer Numerical Controlled" machines. There are manual machines and CNC machines. On manual machines everything is done by hand, from tool changes to tool position and adjustments. The CNC machines are run with a program to machine a part. A programmer writes a program using letters and numbers. The machine reads those figures and coordinates to performs certain called for operations ( turn/mill/drill/tap/grind/etc) able to hold close tolerances repeatedly. A CNC machine operator basically puts an unfinished part in the machine, runs the part and monitors tolerances to be held, makes necessary adjustments either to the tools, the part or possibly the program so that the finished product conforms to the customers requirements. I know it's short but I hope this helped a little.
