    Need G-code generator

    I am looking for G-code to control a stepper motor CNC router (6090 style). I have the CAD drawings (.dxf format) .... I need to vector mill slots in a polypropylene sheet stock as per the dxf file. The slots have tapered walls and are 12 mm deep. Does anyone know of a lower cost software program that could be used to develop the G-code?

    Does anyone have a service that could generate the G-code file? I appreciate all comments ...... thanks!

    Deskam is very simple to use and performant for router or 2 1/2 mill

    I think you can use the trial version for 15 days or something
