<p><font face="Comic Sans MS">I had to figure out a post processor
to get it to give me some G-code. I used the generic one for
LinuxCNC and I got code! I'm not a wiz with G-code so I have to
slowly go through it re remembering what each line means. The
"Nxx" is for line number and can be left out. I would have to
adjust all the feed rates for my tiny Sherline mill. One
problem I have is getting the machine's 0 points in X, Y and Z
to match the parts 0 X, Y and Z . As a rule the code to do that
is in every program. You bolt the part to the table, then set
zero and if you know what you are doing that zero is the zero in
the program, tis a mystery....</font></p>

how to create the 3D part and a good bit longer how to
generate a tool path to cut a circular pocket in that part.
This is a video of the software simulating a cut. I'm tickled
