I am a senior wrinkly and was a self-employed toolmaker/design engineer for many years.
I am getting interested by what I see on youtube with stuff being done on very cheap little machines.
My only experience related to CNC is that I used to write the G-code programmes to operate Hardinge HNC lathes- the old punched tape system, many moons back!
All of my computer experience is with Mac machines and that's what I have currently, and my first question will be can you run a cheap Chinese router from a Mac.
