The delivery of my Grizzly G8689 has been delayed until tomorrow but I'm trying to get everything else figured out. I picked up some aluminum to use for the stepper mounts today so I'll be ready to get started manually making those.

I have AutoCAD and Mach3, am I correct that I design a part in AutoCAD, save it as .DXF and then import that into Mach3, convert to G-code and that's basically it ?

I know I have to set up my table parameters in Mach3 and the homes but I'm trying to get a clear understanding of the steps and "absorb" it all.

Thanks
