Hi All
Sorry not been on for a while have been busy at the shop ....This CNC carry on is bluddy Dangerous ??? so far I have lost the top of my finger broke my foot and poisoned myself and all done in my workshop and not to mention the pile of broken tooling in the corner and I have enjoyed every moment of it
Will post some pics tomorrow evening and any comments good or bad are welcome but keep in mind that I have not been doing this a year yet so still a lot to learn.

Peter, what software did you use on the image in the end to get the tool paths, also what cutters do you use for working with stone?

Hi Lee
I used Corel Draw first then ran it through V carve pro to generate the toolpath , With the stone I use Diamond encrusted tooling ( DK HOLDINGS LTD )
Used a 6mm endmill for roughing and then a 3mm ball nose for final finish all on a Feedrate of 50 and a Plunge rate of 2.0 and that worked for the Slate / Granite / Sandstone / and Marble. It can be a bit messy though
Hope this helps Bud
