All the cnc controller does is go to the X Y Z points that are in the
lines of gcode. It's up to your cam software as to how. And how,..
would depend on your beginning stock. You can send me a cad file and
I'll generate some gcode for you to look at using basic G, ie G0, G01,
G02, and G03. If possible send it as Solidworks or IGS. E-mail me off
list first.
