Hi Everyone
I have been playing with the new X-Carve CNC. It is a machine designed for a school or small workshop and would also suit the DIY/Hobbyist. I know that some small workshops have them for the odd bit of CNC work but they are far removed from the class of a large professional machine.
I use VCarve Pro from Vectric and find it quite easy to use. To get my jobs cut I use UGCS to take the G Code from VCarve Pro and feed the data to the machine.
I just wondered if there are many FOGgers with CNC machines, what software is favoured and what advice might be available for an absolute novice.
