Hello- and thanks for taking time to read this. i am a cnc machinist with 28 years experience in tool and die, and am looking for my first cnc router/mill engraver for some small businees ideas i have in mind. if this question has been asked before, please direct me to the appropriate thread.
what i am looking for would be an entry level machine, with an approximate work envelope of 24"x36" with Z axis of 10". its primary function would be in wood, and non-metals, with the capacaity to contour mill, and do light engraving in metals.
software to go with the machine to perform per above outline, using scans of artwork to vector and g code generation, and straight g code programming for basic functions.
again, thanks for any help!
