I built a ShopNotes Router Milling Machine (a hand-crank woodworking milling machine) and now I am turning it (slowly) into a CNC router lathe with the help of many teachers on the internet.
I would like some assistance in how I go about converting a simple drawing into Gcode. And, I would like someone to show me how to work with the attached computer scan of a centerpost so that I can cut it on the CNC router lathe using just the two axis (wood piece will be turned separately using an old garage door motor that I've wired up and use a belt to turn).
Thanks for any help you can offer me.
