There are two good ways to find what you're looking for.

=== Search ===

The search tool on this site is very good. If you're looking for G code examples, type "g code example" in the Search box and press Go. The results are broken into page title and page text categories.

It's best to use short descriptions when searching. Finding the setup guide for Patriot machines is easily found by simply typing "patriot" and pressing Go. So don't get too specific when searching.

=== Browsing ===

There are three ways to browse. The first is to click on a link to the left, under Navigation. These links are categorized by Techno as well as we can imagine you need. So for example, the lathe manual for the software is under Software Manuals, in a section under Techno CNC Lathes. And so on. This method can be quick if you aren't sure what to search for, or if your search results aren't getting the information you want.

The second way is by [[Special:Categories|Category]]. All documents on this site are categorized into one or more categories, and you can find them by going into the Category page (click Special pages > Categories). If you are searching for g-code examples, you have to guess what it's category might be. You can find it either under Software or Manual categories, but you'd have to guess that. If you were looking for the Patriot setup guide, you would probably guess it's in the Setup Guide category.

The last method is to look in the All Pages listing. See Special pages > All pages. This lists the title of very page on the site. This isn't super useful. Maybe you don't know how to spell "patriot". If so, you could browse this page until you found the setup guide link. If nothing else, this page might lead you to some information that's helpful, but didn't realize existed (like the PCI400 pinout page, for example, if you need to troubleshoot).

First try searching. It's usually the fastest way to find what you want.
