Also, has anyone been on any of the forums for CNC discussions? If so, how are they?
Thanks,

Hello, i'm from R.A.G.E. and if i understand your question right you are asking if you should just use "G" codes verses a CAM program. I personally think you should learn "G" codes and get some kind of CAM program. It is so much easier if you know "G" codes if the program doesn't send to the machine correctly. We use MasterCam software which was quite easy to learn. In a CAM program you can make a program in 10 minutes that would take you about 2 days to make with just "G" codes. See ya
