Re: G-Code programming question
Hi Dan, My email address is: markrob_x_ertnilsen@gmail.com. But don't include the letter x and the leading and trailing underscore that I inserted between the b and e in my middle name.

Hello All, After looking at several CNC machines in the 3-4k price range I have decided the Shark Slimline could be the best choice. Since I'm new to CNC, but not programming or wood working I wanted to see who is hand coding G-Code on the Shark. I am going to be making guitar necks and will be usin...
