    Talking First cut your machine ever made?!

    What was the first thing you had your machine cut when you got it running for the first time? For me it was the roadrunner design in mach 3, it was so simple but I was extremely happy to see it do what it was supposed to be doing.

    LOL, the table on my machine was the first thing that got cut!
    After that it was a Raptor model (the dxf is available on here).

    My first cut was a circle and then a square in blue foam. I had spent so much time and my budget was pretty tight, so I tested every cut in foam initially.
