Re: cnc/cad/cam help

If you are looking to buy a machine I would recommend a HAAS. They are packed with features, and pretty quick to learn and easy to use. They may not be the cheapest but they certainly are among the nicest. Try to pick up a used one and save a few thousand.

Here's the HAAS basic G-Code programming manual. It's a good place to start http://www.haascnc.com/Training/Mill...m_PDF/xmwb.pdf
