Thanks for your help and suggestions guys. I downloaded SheetCam and had a working G-Code file of what I need in about an hour (including working through the tutorials!) The software is very intuitive and the tutorials well written, although you can tell it's a beta version as some of the screen shots do not exactly match the actual screens (I am a former technical writer/illustrator and can't help noticing these things
)
Now I need to build the machine and finally decide on which one of half a dozen demo controller packages I am going to use to actually run it. Then I can start making chips/dust
.
