question 2

What program i should get to start making my own .dxf drawings

Hello all.
I'm testing my machine in mach 3 i try "cross.dxf" file that came with software but everytime I adjust x,y,z to the specific position of my wood board when i press start the software...

winegar what program are you using for basic drawing for mach3 the one with deer head?

Hello.
I have 9.5 amp router with 1/4 collet that i want to use in my cnc table now the question is what kind router bit i should buy so i can cut shapes out of the wood board, upsheer down...

just wonder why do you guys have small switches that limits movement of the motors i though that movement limits can be setup in the program so the motors can't go beyond the table size

great thank you is there any tutorial online that is explaining all these options what they do?

i try X slave A they both work at the same time but opposite way one go forward second go backward how to change so they will go the same way.

winegar where and how to change in mach 3 software option so the 2 step motors work at the same time on x -axis
