I'll have to try an import a simple DXF into Mach2 to see if I can understand how to specify things like cut depth, etc.
I'm curious if anyone has any recommendations of a good set of basic cutters that I should order/buy so I will have them when I wrap up the machine. I've heard words like 'end mills' and 'ball mills' thrown around. Can someone provide maybe a starter list of some good bits to get, and where to order/buy them from?
Projects I have in mind:
* Shaping 3D pieces with plastic or MDF - like clock gears
* Cutting 1/2" and 3/4" plywood - such as for a case for my electronics
* Circuit boards
Thanks! |
