Hello all,
Ive recently become interested in doing some cnc milling on my machine that uses ramps 1.4 electronics. everyone has sort of thrown things like mach3 and skeinforge at me, but im not sure where to start. as 3d printing you use the slicer to make the gcode and its very streamlined and hard to mess up or cause any damage to the machine. with milling though im not sure what to use to make my gcode, or where i should start.
has anyone made a good tutorial for milling with ramps, and what are some free tools to use.
btw im using an h series foredom tool for the spindle, and im working on a way to monitor and control the speed.
thanks
