General Mach Discussion / Re: Software to convert Dxf to Gcode, aka CAM. Recommendations wanted

I use CamBam for dxf to GCode - it's also extremely good at creating the tool radius offset paths. Easy to use and fully supported by active forum and it's Free.

Show"N"Tell ( What you have made with your CNC machine.) / Re: Routing Wood

Teak, being a particularly oily wood, does not take too kindly to double sided sticky tape - so I thought that the vac table would hold it better. Unfortunately the teak blank was not flat enough and moved during the first (particularly savage) cut. Luckily the through hole (just below the letter E) can be easily filled and the job was completed on the reverse side using double sided sticky tape after all. Let this be a lesson to me.

This is nothing special but I thought you guys may like to see the photo's.

Wonderful job Dave.

With work like that you don't need a wood router just a bigger mill (for larger signs).

Hi all,

I think it's brilliant.
If nobody else likes it, then it's all my fault.
