I just got my new CNC mill. It is a 12 x 16 Zenbot. Today I got it moving and even engraved some letters on acrylic. I can see a lot of possibilities.
Can someone either direct me to some basic information or help me with some basic settings.
For different materials, how fast do you set your spindle speed?
How fast do you set the movement on you engraver?
There is a good chart for engraving bit sizes in the Marco catalog. Does anyone have any suggestions for bit other suppliers?
Since this is a CNC mill I'm running Mach 3 as a controller. Does anyone have suggestions for a good and reasonably priced CAD/CAM software? I'm strongly considering VCarve.
Thanks,
Garrick
