Let me tell you what I want to do and someone tell me if it can be done.
I want to open say MSpaint or paint shop pro and use the drawing tools in
there to just click and draw a 2D shape. Say a square. Then I would like to
print that as I can using my printer. Simple and easy right? Sure it is...
However what I would really like to do is to be able to save that drawing
and then feed it to my CNC table and have it move my router so it cuts out
the shape rather then put it on paper. I could set the drawing tool to mark
a 1/4" line on my paper and if the cutting bit was 1/4" then WAL-LA I have a
simple way to cut simple shapes.
Can this be done or should I wake up from my little dream here?
Using XP and win 98. Be nice If I could do things up in XP on my computer
and then run the cnc with laptop (win 98).
Thanks in advance,
Troy
