source for DXF files or G-Codes ?

Sorry, I don't know of such a repository.  But, can refer you to a
place where a lot of this type of stuff is discussed... www.cnczone.com

Cool. As usual, I discovered CNCZone.com soon after I posted my question ... but
perhaps this will help others with similar
interests!

Regardless - it is much appreciated!

Hi JCD,
Getting started to create G code was the biggest hurdle I had with my
CNC.

If you have access to a recent version of Visio you can draw the parts
in that then export as DXF.

What I have found that I ended up using is a free 2D application from
Siemens called Solid Edge 2D. www.solidedge.com/free2d

I do my drawings in that then use CamBam (free beta) to create the G
code. www.cambam.net

simple shapes in DXF file format or G-Codes for such

relatively small parts that can be machined out of

I've seen  both of these during my web surfing to find suitable software, so it
is nice to see what people actually use!
Great info - thanks!

I found this great little program for creating sprocket DXF and G-codes !

Also found this nice small footrpint DXF viewer
