Hi everybody
Just joined today and have questions if anyone can help. I am in the process of building a CNC router, hopefully to make hobby stuff to augment my current income of zero but leading in the future to making guitars. I have designed my MDF router on solidworks and will use this for further designs, I have bought all of the mechanical parts from various places, so I'm at the stage where I need someone with a large router that can cut my components from 18mm sheet MDF, I'm guessing that sign makers are the best bet but would welcome any suggestions or help from the forum. Also, although I'm self taught but proficient at Solidworks, I don't know much about CAM sw to process my models into G-Code and I'll likely try Mach3 to drive my router at first to assess its suitability. I tried Freemill and could import an STL file, fiddle with settings and generate/simulate but it wouldn't post the g-code. Thanks in advance for any help.
