Hi All
New to this group so forgive me if I am asking stuff already posted.
I am wanting to build a 3D router for carving pockets and arch top on an electric guitar.
There are many place I can find to get the stepping motors and controllers for this and I can build all of the machine given I have a full machining workshop already. I have a number of questions that will help this project.
1) What size motors have others used? I have been looking at about 300oz/inch motors by Nema.
2) Is Mach 3 the best software for this sort of thing? Everywhere I look other machines are using G Code and I am unsure if Mach 3 uses this or not. What would you guys recommend.
3) How hard is it to convert a file from Autocad into a set iof cutting instructions for Mach 3?
Thanks
