Truth is I am so new, I am not sure how to ask the dumb questions I have...I guess I have just enough info to be of danger and embarrassment to you folks.
Here is how I started all wrong...I am a Nam Vet living on a very limited income, work part-time as a Veteran Benefits Officer, and somehow I became fascinated with the possibilities of the CNC world. With said limited income, I bought a Chinese 3040 off EBay.....Of course, I now realize how stupid that was, but I am stuck with what I have.
After 4 months, I STILL can't get the darn thing to do what I want it to do...I need someone who can guide me through the basics that I some how can't figure out...I think I have things set right, but I must still be missing something.
I am ATTEMPTING TO USE Mach3 but am confounded by the many settings.
Like the right setup....
My immediate goal is to carve the 5 different Military logos for our Veterans.
Any preliminary guidance would be helpful, (other than using my equipment as a boat anchor! )
I am living in Eastern Tennessee about 45 miles north of Chattanooga. (Rockwood, TN)
