[vagelism22678]

Hello to all.
I am new to CNC.
I would like to know somethings in order to make my start.
I have some IGS files. Is there a freewear programm that I can use in order to load them modify them and then convert them to G code for my controller?
I would also liked to ask some tutorial for my first steps in CNC.
Thank you all for your efford.

Maybe you can use "Free-Mill". You would have to convert the file from IGS to STL and then convert it to "G" code using the Free-Mill program. I am experimenting with it using Solid Works to convert the JGRO Router files into G code. I am currently doing this. I am a real Newbie to CNC...I know nothing, but am reading learning and testing stuff. If you like, send me your files and I will attempt to convert one for you to see if it will work. If it works I will tell you exactly how I did it. Free-Mill has some kinky stuff you have to do, if you are running Windows 7 64bit system. I can walk you through that. It took me about two hours to figure out how to get around that. My email is rspehr@gmail.com good luck!
