Hi Guys,

Really new at this. Have a taig mill and deepgroove1 Mach3 set up. Bought this set up to solely use for metal engraving. Would like to know if someone can help us show how to program from mpeg and jpeg files.  I'm in Norco So Cal by Ontario and Corona. I'm very willing to pay for your time and hopefully it's reasonable. Let me know and pls. email me directly at jvidanes@aol.com

Thanks,
Jojo

Have a look at the video tutorials, particularly the one on Lazy Cam. There is a bit in there about doing engraving and cutting out letters.

Unless you are prepared to learn G code, you will need a program that converts your  text to g_code.
