For openers I want to let you know I have no idea what I am getting into

I cannot program, don't have a shop, and have no background in machining.

I have watched people use a Mazak metal mill to "hog" out 3d parts. It made me wonder about something similar for wood.

That led me to some internet searching and here I am.

I am interested in making 3d style details for furniture without having to hand carve them. (Not only am I too lazy, I have about zero gift for carving.)

Idealy I would like to take a drawing, scan, or even a model and have the computer render it into whatever code is required for the router to make the 3d (actually more like raised or embossed) parts.

It seems like there should be something out there that would work for me but I have not seen it yet.

This would be a hobby type thing and not an actual business so I am somewhat limited to the "garage" catagory. I have available 110 and 220 volts but not the 380 and better I see on most CNC routers.

Which brings me to another question...Other than price is there an advantage to using the stepper motors instead of true servos?

Is there any particular book on the subject that you would recommend?

Thanks for your time
