Two Questions:
Table top sherline mill using myTmill software.
First, I was thinking that I would make my CNC part out of wood to dry run my program and set up.
Now I'm thinking that even wood is kind of hard and has issues. Sawdust, heat, etc...
Question, is there anything even better that using wood to practice on? What about balsa wood? And what about some type of plastic, not expensive nylon or the like?
Thanks.
Second, Is there a web sight that teaches how to specifically use linux with a cnc machine? As opposed to wading through a geek sight with all that other stuff?
Thanks.
