Why CNC?

[jonm]

hi
have you heard of the cnc toolkit,a plugin for gmax which is a free version off 3ds max , can make toolpaths from objects made in gmax, and generate g code all for freehttp://www.cnc-toolkit.com/
a manual for cnc toolkit can be downloaded here http://www.cnc4free.org/

My word! You gents are all extremely helpful. The http://www.cnc4free.org/ link is a very useful one Jon, and seems to have the right philosophy for me now that we have to live on my meagre pension, namely: "If it costs money, we don't do it."

But looking at some of the lovely things people have made, I must say I am beginning to get the CNC bug :)
