Re: OK Now What?

Hello,

You can go click on http://www.dakeng.com/ace.html the link for Ace
Converter. This free software converts CAD DXF files into G-Code
which is what TurboCNC reads as tool paths. If you would like sample
g-codes to try on your machine I could provide you with some for you
to test your machine out.

Best regards,

Ron Steele
