# Documentation Philosophy This documentation exists because CNC knowledge is often fragmented, hidden behind paywalls, scattered across forums, or locked inside individual experience. My goal is to **bring practical CNC knowledge together and make it accessible**, without assuming prior expertise or requiring expensive tools, licenses, or insider knowledge. *** ### Different ways of using this documentation This documentation is designed to support different ways of learning and working. You can: * copy working setups and workflows to get moving quickly, or * take the time to understand why things work and adapt them to your own needs Both approaches are valid. Understanding is offered — not required. *** ### Sharing real workflows, not isolated tips The examples shown here are based on **real workflows**, tested on real machines. Parameters, strategies, and setups are shared openly, together with explanations of *why* they work and *where their limits are*. This makes copying a legitimate starting point, while keeping deeper understanding available whenever you want it. The intent is not to present *industrial-perfect* solutions, but **working ones** that can be understood, questioned, and improved — especially in a hobbyist context. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://miwicnc.gitbook.io/miwicnc/about-this-documentation/documentation-philosophy.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
