I'm just starting on building a foam cutter had some great advice on the site already.
It seems to me I have two choices Mach3 or Foamwork. I seen both used on YouTube and they seem to do the job, Mach3 does seem a bit more complicated but probably does a lot more. Does anyone have experience in using these or anything else. I use Autocad for my designs so I'll need to be able to import DXF files to get the G code.
Do I need to understand G -code, I'm quite keen to learn it if it will benefit. Any good sites or tutorials anybody knows of ?
Thanks
Keiith
