    This should be simple but I'm new...

    This is what I think should be a simple project but my cnc has not arrived yet so I'm playing with the software. I want to cut several shaped items out of balsa wood. What I am using is just black silhouette clipart. I want it to cut 1/4" deep. I have Mach 3 and LazyCam software. Been using it less than an hour but not having any luck. Here's a sample image...Attachment 274268Can you help me? Thanks, DC

    Can't believe no one would take 3 minutes to tell me how to do this.

    Not many people use LazyCAM, and I'm not even sure you can do what you want with LazyCAM.

    I'm not real clear on what you're trying to do? Do you just want to cut around the outside of that? I don't think LazyCAM can do that.
