For anyone who needs to create simple programs for cnc, there is a little utility "GCforge" which I created. This is a non-commercial project and can be downloaded free of charge from gcforge.org
Programs for simple operations such as surface trimming, slot / hole milling, hole drilling and more can be created on a few clicks. All without the need to create a model. The program displays the path of the tool.
I made huge update to my tool. New version 1.4 is available for free on https://gcforge.org/
From most important updates there are:
- full support to imperial and metric unit systems
- calculating feed and speed base on material and tool parameters
- Gcode editor mode
- new hexagonal patern
