General Mach Discussion / Re: New user

Come on Stew, you can’t learn it all from my website because I am not yet halfway through the learning process – I still have miles to go yet.
I do appreciate that some may find that it is not easy to learn CNC and may struggle with it but nowadays they are in a very small minority. CAD/CAM software (such as Vectric) has moved on leaps and bounds in recent years and it is just so easy to design a part, create the Gcode, run Mach and produce the goods. We don’t necessarily need to know or understand exactly ‘how it works’ we just need to know exactly ‘how to use it’ (perhaps a bit like driving a car).
In an earlier post someone said ‘Hell if it was easy everyone would be doing it’ well guess what – looking at the numbers of new members to our forum who are starting out using Mach4, everybody is doing it.
Tweakie.
