This was a very early test of my Sherline lathe to CNC mill conversion, using a pen and paper to trace the tool path. The G code is the tracingf of the letter E. Note that due to direction bit inversion the letter is mirrored. Other than that the test was successful. See www.hobbymechatronics.com for a illustrated description of the conversion steps.
Test cuts with a marker have saved me a lot of trouble and some expensive parts, at home and at work. Thanks for sharing! :)
