New 6040 owner looking for advice from others with a chinese 6040/3040

hey silyavski and eddycurrent. That is an absolute load of helpful information. I'm really overwhelmed with the amount of effort that you have put into helping me.

clearly you are a real asset to this forum and I too hope to give a little back once I have gotten a hang of all this.

So much to go on and I'm now going to order some more cutters from the eBay link you suggested. Glad you mentioned using the smaller guage cutters. Especially as I reckon I may break a good few with practice!

Going to have a good read up on mach3 now. But seriously I do really appreciate all the help you have given.

Cheers. andy

Hi, I am exactly in the same situation, I've found the best information is on youtube. Search "Mark Lindsay", "Roger Webb", this will lead you to other sites for Mach3 and 6040CNC.
I'm new on this site so all this info may already be here somewhere. I'm using/learning Vectric desktop which is the best thing I've come across so far,
Good Luck
