Re: Noob looking to get into CNC with a 6040/6090 machine
If it comes with a pirated copy of Mach3 the simple soluction is download the currect one and purchase a license which is $200. Mach3 may not be the best or greatest but it has a lot of support worldwide. You might look into UCCNC. When buying your first machine, buy one you have a use for and can make things, not a small one to learn on which is a waste since its too small to do anything productive.
Trying to convert a mill drill to CNC when you have no experience would be a very daunting task.
