    Newbie need information please.

    Hi all.
    I am new to the CNC world, and would like to build a cutter for foam wings as I am into R/C flying.
    I have already bought a four axis controller card called FET4 from Stepperworld that I thought I could use. I have also bought four suitable stepper motors. Now the problem is that I have no clue as to what program I shall use to control the cutter. I have a application called CNC, but it keeps complaining about some missing clock, and the FET4 board cannot supply a clock to the parallel port. If anyone have any suggestion on what program I might use it would be most appreciated.

    Program called CNC does not describe what program it is, and we need to know your setup in detail to be able to help i would think, ie. how are you connecting everything together, and also pics help.
