Can anyone recomend some simple software to use to convert a bmp picture to g-code to engrave a picture on stone or glass, with a cnc rotary tool? I have built a springloaded tool holder to aid in controling down pressure.    |

| VS3D can perform engraving/milling from "raster" images (MP, TIF, JPEG, etc.). Here is an example of doing V-bit carving of a logo from a raster image: http://www.designscomputed.com/vs3d/...ext_carve.html I think this is very similar to what you want to do. You can also perform 3D ("grayscale") image embossing/carving. Here is an example of that: http://www.designscomputed.com/vs3d/...mg_emboss.html
