Hobby-CNC Workflow - SKETCHUP + CAMBAM + MACH3

[wilfy]

i presume all the CAM programs are very helpful and easy to get you going in zeroing the machine and setting the limits ect?

Wilfy it's the control software such as mach3 that you would use to set the machine up, not yet done it myself but had a look at how to do it in mach & it seemed to be well explained so I can't see to many problems, can't speak for any other control software but would guess some are easier to set up than others.
Cam software which you will use to generate toolpaths in g code seem to vary as most software does, some are easier to learn than others from what I have seen so far.
