Mini CNC machine.

I picked up a Sainsmart 3018 pro mini cnc machine yesterday.

Well, it was delivered, but same thing.

I am just learning how to use it.

First couple of tries,  well, the less said, the better!

Got it running on a test project now.

I think I have it kinda figured out.

The biggest problem is finding a good software for creating the cnc control files that does not cost an arm, leg and first born!

Foolish me thought it would be plug and play.

HA!

Live and learn.

Here is a short video of it working on the test project:



Here is a pic of the completed job:


The mess on the right is from an earlier attempt.
Wrong bit, wrong file, wrong everything.

Y'all stay safe.
