This Old Tony on YouTube did a video or 2 on some CAD CAM software that is free to usethat will let you design things and will generate the CNC commands to run a CNCmachine.
If remember latter on i will find some libks.

My daughter has a CNC router and she has used this site.
I agree. Years and years ago I worked with a CNC machinist in Salina, Kansas that had been a machinist in the Navy. He had all kinds of job prospects but he was looking for the kind of job where you would work for hours just to make one piece instead of mass production. I think he was making around $16/hr back then, which would probably be $25/hr or more now...I wish I had gotten into CNC years ago. There was and still is good money in that work, both programming and operating.

Funny story bout Alaska, I had an employer and his son that went on a Alaskan Bush fishing trip. They were taken out into the middle of know where in a plane and dropped of for 5 days. They had all the equipment to survive. they were salmon fishing.I did in 1965, four year apprentice to Journeymen Machinist Papers, signed by: Governor "Rockefeller" 1969, while also learning CNC programing at RIT. But I hated being indoors, and sought the freedom of Alaska, and walked away from all that training and education. A decision I have never regretted.
I will ask her if she can make the file. She works in wood only so she can't actually make it.I signed at www.fusion360 and quickly found out I was way over my head. I looked around and ran out the door before I was spotted.
@backlash.
Would you mind contacting your daughter and asking her if she would be interested in
earning a bit of cash on the side? I need A DXF file with this on it
it is a tombstone made from 3 layers of 5/16 steel the 2 outer sheets will have letters the inside will not. the 2 outside will be powder coated black and the center blue
the height i 48'' the width 24'' depending on the room needed for letters
This is my rough draft,

Thank you for asking.My daughter doesn't think she can do it. She uses a different file type.
