If you are new to CNC routing, jumping into the world of CNC software can be confusing. To shed some light on the ecosystem of CNC software, I will talk about some higher level concepts, define some vocab, and talk about some common file types. In a later video (probably not next week, but the week after) I will walk you through one possible way of going from an idea to a having a cut part using only free software. I apologize for the glare making the cards almost unreadable.
