Re: Newbie
Welcome to the forum PJ! That Arcdroid sounds like a lot of fun. I have seen a video of one cutting, very cool indeed! What software are you using for you designs and g-code? Be sure to post some photos of your rod pickups and custom car as there are others here with similar interests.
Thanks,
David
