Hello i am totally new to cnc machining and currently building a cnc machine, i have selected nema 23 stepper motors and hope they are going to be ok. can any one help me with what the steps are to designing what i want to cut out (anything just an example a box with letters in?) i really do not know where to start with what software i will need to use with mach3 (i want to use any free software just to get me going and start to learn the basics) can anyone help me please
CamBam CNC Software
HeeksCAD and HeeksCNC
DoubleCAD XT v3
this is a start , first draw up your stuff then use cambam or heeks to generate the toolpaths
