30 40 cutting Aluminium

My little 30 40 cnc is surrounded by aluminium chips.
Daughter (the one doing Elec eng at uni) gave me a dxf file with instruction for 8 off pse.

Agreed. I have referred that back to the designer. Not going to cut any more 'till it is clarified.

Hi,

Very neat. What software did you use from dxf on?

I am using a 3020, and just starting to use CamBam.

Cheers

I use "Artcam express" for drawing and "Mach3" for cutting.
Artcam can load dxf files

Very nice David, did you do the drive gear wheels as well?

[DavidG]

No. Just the sides. Some sort of modification of an existing part.
