Thanks for the replies - 2 things:
1> Do you know where to set the parts geometry is AutoCAD?

2> Is there a decent FREE CAM package that will do this and is easy to use.

I am completely new to this. So a lot of them terms and everything used is new to me. Thanks for the help!!

Attached is a jpg of what I am trying as my first part. It took a while but i finally got the stepper motors set in the Mach2 program where when i draw a part with a pencil it comes out perfect now. It took me a long while to figure out draw the part with all the correct measurements and now I have this. Once I figure this tool/cutter thing out, I will be ready and try and CNC my first part. Up until now I have been just doing the mill by hand until I figured this out.

Thanks again for the help!
