Hi everyone.

I am new at this, so please be as simple as possible!

I want to build my first CNC Router, and doesn't want it to be too expensive... less than 500$ would be nice. I am thinking to use a small dremel as cutting tool, and would like to use the most simple as possible stepper motors.
Now, I would like to know what software to use... I have AutoCAD, and can do almost anything on it. What do I need to convert that to Gcode ?

Also, speaking of controller for the motors, I would like to build one myself. Where can I find the most detailled instructions and part lists ?

Thanks
