Hi there,
FreeMill will process .STL files to gcode. You will need a Mach compatible post-processor.
Info re FreeMill is available in the 'Essentials' area at http://cnc4free.org and a link to Mecsoft post-processors is on the 'Links' page at the site. VisualMill Mach post-processors are reported to work fine.
I also believe there's a post in the CAM software thread at the zone with a functional FreeMill post-processor for Mach software.
Hope this helps
Danny
