In order to convert your .dxf drawings to Gcode some more information is required...

What thickness is the material ?
What diameter is your cutter ?
How deep do you want to cut per pass (depth of cut) ?
What feed-rate do you want to use ?
Are you working in Inches or Millimeters ?

Tweakie.

Hello there Tweakie

the thickness is 1/4"
the bit is 1/8"  2 Flute 45° Helix 1/2" Flute Length 1-1/2"
i want to remove 1/32" per pass
feed rate of 50%

as you can see im playing very safe here since i do have the time to sit and wait
this is teaching me little by little about cad work and how gcodes work.
do you recommend some where to get some training
i was looking into lynda.com
im not sure cause i didst see much about gcodes.
but plenty of cads program nothing about mach 3 there but i started watching paul in youtube.
